For one of Australia’s largest B Corps in the financial services sector, the B Impact Assessment has become a serious pressure point. Under new disclosure rules, even companies with strong credentials must go deeper — proving supply chain alignment, governance, and measurable impact. For this 500+ seat B Corp, the challenge isn’t buying responsibly. It’s reporting it.
The Challenge: Compliance Without Capacity
All B Corps now face a new level of scrutiny:
- B Impact Assessment (BIA): under updated rules (0/3/5), B Corps must demonstrate supplier and customer disclosures with verifiable data.
- ASRS & NGERS: new sustainability standards require large organisations to disclose Scope 1–3 emissions, governance, and risk. While not ICT-specific, IT procurement contributes to Scope 3 emissions and must be included where material.
- Modern Slavery & Supply Chain Expectations: ICT hardware and electronics are recognised as high-risk categories, requiring stronger due diligence.
- Operational drag: fragmented suppliers meant procurement teams were chasing spreadsheets instead of driving strategy.
For this B Corp in the financial services sector, the risk is clear: without built-in compliance, ICT procurement will drag down its BIA performance under the new rules in 2026.
The TechForGood Solution: Procurement That Reports Itself
By consolidating ICT spend through TechForGood’s ESG IT Procurement-as-a-Service, the B Corp is turning reporting into an automated outcome:
- BIA Confidence: procurement data is now feeding straight into Supply Chain and Governance disclosures, easing the compliance burden ahead of recertification in early 2026.
- ASRS & NGERS-Ready Data: every purchase comes with built-in, supplier-ready reporting packs.
- Carbon Neutral Proof: named carbon offset certificates for each purchase.
- Supply Chain Compliance: procurement supports reporting on modern slavery, DEI, and broader ESG benchmarks.
💬 All by just switching supplier.
This B Corp has to buy the tech anyway. By redirecting the same ICT budget through TechForGood — a Certified B Corp and Social Enterprise — it has unlocked:
- Future-ready BIA performance confidence
- NGERS & ASRS-ready reporting built into every purchase
- Modern slavery due diligence across its ICT supply chain
- Named carbon offsets to back sustainability claims
- Competitive pricing through our distribution network
👉 No extra budget. Just smarter procurement.
Proof Through Impact
In the first year of engagement, the B Corp is achieving:
- Future-proofing for BIA performance in 2026, with ICT procurement positioned to strengthen Governance & Supply Chain disclosures.
- Named carbon offset certificates covering IT lifecycle emissions.
- NGERS & ASRS-ready reporting provided automatically.
- Streamlined audits for supply chain and modern slavery disclosures.
Lessons for B Corps
For B Corps at scale, ICT procurement is often overlooked in recertification and compliance planning. This case proves that:
- Procurement can directly protect and lift BIA performance under the new rules.
- Consolidation simplifies ESG reporting across frameworks (ASRS, NGERS, modern slavery).
- ICT budgets can shift from a compliance headache to a compliance service.
