[Havas London/Lemz/NY/Immerse] have been stripped of B Corp status by certification body B Lab this week. The agencies had been offered the chance to take remedial action and maintain certification, but declined to do so, B Lad said. B Lab had been asked to investigate the agencies by numerous complainants as parent company Havas persued a new contract for Shell last year. It concluded that Havas’ actions “constitute a breach of the B Corp community’s core values”. - report
