For Immediate Release
Calgary Mortgage Brokerage Becomes First B Corp Certified Mortgage Company In Canada (North America) – Sets New Industry Standard For Transparency, Accountability, and Social Impact
Joins Tom’s Shoes, Method Cleaners, Patagonia, & Fiasco Gelato In The Quest To Use Business As A Force For Good
(Calgary, Alberta)—Mortgage360—a mortgage company with purpose—has joined a global community of more than 2,600 companies using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
Numbering more than 240 in Canada, Certified B Corporations are businesses that were evaluated by the third-party, non-profit B Lab for their commitment to transparency and accountability; encouraging environmental sustainability; driving local prosperity; and building stronger communities. Notable B Corps include Toms Shoes, Ben & Jerry’s, Patagonia, Method Cleaners, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, Klean Kanteen, Kickstarter, Hootsuite, New Belgium Brewery, and Fiasco Gelato.
“Certified B Corporations do more than just meet the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and social impact: we are leading a broader movement to use business as a force for good,” said Nolan Matthias, Co-Founder of Mortgage360, Canada’s First B Corp Certified mortgage brokerage. “Consumers expect more from the companies they choose to work with. They expect companies to not only be exceptional, but to be honest, transparent, and to help change the world for the better. They are looking to choose companies that align with their goals and their values. By supporting a Certified B Corporation like Mortgage360, consumers become part of the movement, as we work together to benefit people, communities and the planet.”
“Consumers have a choice. They get to vote everyday with their wallets, and choose between companies that perhaps give back because it is a marketing opportunity or expected of them, and companies who have honesty and giving built into their DNA.”
Mortgage360’s B Corp Certification follows the 2018 launch of the Mortgage That Matters—a mortgage designed for giving. Consumers who choose a Mortgage That Matters can designate a charity or non-profit which will immediately receive a $500 donation and then an ongoing donation every year for as long as the client maintains their mortgage with Mortgage360.
“We found that while millennials are often the most engaged volunteers when it comes to charitable organizations, they don’t have the resources to give financially. They may have student loans, be saving for a first home or a wedding, have a baby on the way, or already have children, all of which limit financial resources. They want to donate, they just can’t. We’ve tried to solve that problem by helping them make in many cases the biggest financial contribution of their lifetime, simply by choosing a mortgage company with purpose.”
“Once we put the Mortgage That Matters into place it was pretty obvious that the next step in doing our part to help change the world was to become B Corp Certified. We could not be happier to join this amazing movement.”
B Corps like Mortgage360 are committed to creating a global community that seeks to be a force for good in the world.
