Preview of the latest B Corp Impact Report

We’re delighted to reach our ninth year of being a B Corp. When Yoti was founded 10 years ago, we knew that we wanted to do business the right way. Because that’s the only way we can truly make the digital world safer for everyone.

Our founders knew that in this industry, we were going to come up against some complex ethical questions. Working with identity, personal data and biometrics is a delicate matter. And that’s one of the reasons we became a B Corp – to hold us accountable to all our stakeholders including our people, clients, suppliers, the planet and the wider community.

We recertified as a B Corp in 2023 with an improved score of 84.1. But as we’ve known since 2015, the hard work can never stop. Our latest impact report details our journey so far and our targets for next year. Because to genuinely transform how we do business, we need to continually strive to do better.

You can see what we’ve been up to in our new B Corp Impact Report and find our official scoring on the B Lab website.

Making age checks inclusive

In today’s world, we can access a range of goods, services and experiences online. As a result, regulations are being passed across the globe to ensure that young people safely navigate the digital world. From the UK’s Online Safety Act to age verification laws in the US, platforms are being required to check the ages of their users.
