To us, the 14.3-point uplift is evidence of structural progress across governance, environmental accountability, reconciliation, and community impact.
For government departments, regulators, and purpose-driven enterprises, B Corp certification is a proxy for risk maturity. It demonstrates that an organisation’s commitments are embedded into systems, measured against global standards, and independently verified.
In an era of AI scrutiny, ESG accountability, and rising public expectations, that matters.
Raising our score, and our standard
Internal programs and initiatives that live up to our external image.
Reconciliation as operational practice
With our Reconciliation Action Plan approved, we have embedded reconciliation into how we operate from procurement pathways to cultural capability building and engagement practices. This strengthens the integrity of the systems we help design across justice, health, education and government functioning.
For our partners working in sensitive, high-impact domains, this signals our cultural maturity and alignment with national priorities.
Sustainability built into digital infrastructure
Over the past three years, we have formalised our environmental commitments, including publishing our AI and environmental impact statement. This work articulates how we approach model selection, infrastructure efficiency, and lifecycle considerations in emerging technologies.
For leaders navigating climate targets and ESG requirements, this reduces downstream risk. Sustainability is considered during architecture, procurement, and implementation.
Innovation without environmental accountability is not innovation at all.
Delivering measurable impact for underserved communities
Portable exists to improve quality public services, and through them, quality of life.
Our work spans justice, mental health, aged care, climate action, and government functioning. These are environments where failure carries social, political and financial consequences. Our B Corp recertification recognises that our commitment to underserved communities extends beyond individual projects and into how we govern our business.
We do not separate commercial success from social value. We engineer both.
Continuous improvement, not a finish line
B Corp recertification is rigorous.
Our next review will be under even more demanding standards, and we welcome that.
Because governance is not static, sustainability expectations evolve, community expectations and technology evolves. So must we.
We are proud to remain part of a global movement using business as a force for good. More importantly, we are committed to proving that technology and design can reduce risk, build trust, and engineer a better quality of life for all.
