We’re extremely delighted and proud to launch our 2025 Impact Report, published during our first year as a certified B Corporation.
This report represents an important milestone for our business. It captures the meaningful impact we’ve made over the past year, not just in terms of the projects we deliver, but in how we operate as a business, how we support our people, and how we contribute to the communities and environment around us.
More than anything, the Impact Report is about accountability and transparency. It gives us a clear framework to track progress, measure what matters, and hold ourselves to higher standards as we continue to grow.

Why we created the Impact Report
Expectations of businesses have changed. Clients, partners and our own people increasingly want to understand how organisations operate beyond profit – from governance and wellbeing to environmental responsibility and social value.
Creating this Impact Report allows us to be open about where we are today, what we’ve achieved so far, and where we still have work to do. It’s a tool that helps guide better decision-making across the business and ensures sustainability and responsibility remain embedded in how we work, rather than treated as an add-on.
-
A collaborative effort across the business
Putting this report together has been a genuinely collaborative process. It brings together input from teams across Oktra, including leadership, sustainability, health and safety, finance, design and human resources, all providing insights that enable a holistic view of our impact over the past year.
That collaboration is important. The outcomes captured in the report aren’t owned by one team or function; they’re the result of collective effort and shared responsibility across the business.

“This report is about being honest with ourselves and with others. It shows the progress we’ve made, but also highlights where we need to go next. By measuring and sharing our impact, we can keep improving for our clients, our people and the wider industry.”
Jamie Firman
Head of Sustainability and Environment at Oktra

Highlights from the year
While the Impact Report goes into detail across governance, people, environment and community, there are a few areas we’re particularly proud to highlight:
B Corp certification
This year marked our first as a certified B Corporation. Achieving B Corp status is a significant step for Oktra, and while we know it’s not the end of the journey, it reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement and to building a better business for our clients, our people and the planet.

Giving back to our communities
It was a standout year for charitable fundraising across Oktra. Together, our teams raised £17,000 for our charity partners, supporting causes that matter deeply to our people and the communities we’re part of.
Carbon management and the road ahead
We measured 118 tCO₂e from our operational emissions this year. Looking forward, we’re focused on expanding our Scope 3 reporting and continuing to refine our pathway to net zero, ensuring our carbon strategy evolves alongside our business.

Looking ahead
This Impact Report is not a one-off publication. It’s the start of a more structured, transparent way of tracking and communicating our impact year on year.
We know there is more to do, and we’re committed to learning, improving and raising standards, both within Oktra and across the wider workplace design and build industry.
