As proud members of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, LIVE IT is thrilled to announce it has been certified as a B Corporation™, meeting B Lab’s integrated social, environmental, and governance standards. This milestone formally embeds LIVE IT’s purpose and commitment to positive impact into the core of the business.

This incredible milestone would not have been possible without the phenomenal support of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce and its visionary Edinburgh B Corp 500 initiative. LIVE IT was honoured to be part of one of last year’s cohorts in this ambitious programme, which aims to help 500 local businesses become certified B Corps by 2030. The journey to certification is rigorous, but the exceptional support received every step of the way was a game-changer. The expert-led workshops, the one-on-one guidance from dedicated B Leaders, and the shared experience with fellow cohort members created a powerful and encouraging environment for learning and growth.

For LIVE IT, achieving an impressive score of 89.5 is a testament to the team’s dedication and a promise made to the community, clients, and themselves to uphold the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The comprehensive verification process was a transformative experience, strengthening governance, transparency, and the frameworks used to ensure social and environmental considerations inform every key decision.

“We are so incredibly proud of our team. Achieving B Corp™ certification is a major milestone for LIVE IT,” says Kenton Ward, CEO of LIVE IT. “We have always sought to embed and weave social and environmental responsibility into everything we do, and this certification represents our official, heartfelt commitment to using our business as a force for good.”

Our Journey and Our Commitment

For over a decade, LIVE IT has had the privilege of working at the forefront of the events industry, creating sophisticated ticketing solutions from its home base here in Edinburgh. The company supports a diverse family of clients across the globe, including respected names like Ultra Europe, The Grotto UK & Dubai, Hever Castle & Gardens, Skate Manchester, and local comedy heroes at Monkey Barrel, among many others. The team pours its heart into designing innovative solutions that make life easier for organisers and create unforgettable moments for their guests, and the B Corp framework has given them a new lens through which to view this work.

What This Means for Us and the People We Work With

For LIVE IT, B Corp certification changes how the company shows up, not just in its values, but in every conversation, every partnership, and every decision made. It provides independent verification of LIVE IT’s values in action and reinforces its credibility as a trusted, ethical, and responsible partner. It means clients can choose LIVE IT with complete confidence, knowing that the company behind their ticketing platform is independently verified to meet the highest standards of ethical business practice.

LIVE IT has always taken data transparency and GDPR compliance seriously. Clients own their data outright, the company never shares or sells it, and the platform is built from the ground up with privacy and security at its core. B Corp certification is a further commitment to those principles, extending that same rigour and accountability across the company’s social and environmental impact. It means that when an organiser trusts LIVE IT with their event, their audience, and their data, they are working with a partner that is genuinely accountable not just to them, but to their communities as well, and committed to building long-term relationships, not short-term transactions.

What This Means for Our Community

In an industry that’s all about bringing people together, LIVE IT knows the choices it makes have a real impact. Being a B Corp provides clients and partners with the assurance that they are working with a team that is ethically driven and genuinely accountable.

As a Certified B Corporation, LIVE IT joins a global community of over 10,000 B Corps, collectively providing more than 1 million jobs worldwide, all working towards a shared goal of a global economy that benefits people and the planet. LIVE IT is proud to stand alongside this community, collaborating to drive collective action and meaningful change. The company wholeheartedly encourages fellow Chamber members to explore the Edinburgh B Corp 500 initiative, calling it a truly transformative experience.

B Corp certification marks the beginning of an ongoing journey. LIVE IT is committed to improving its score year on year and looks forward to sharing its first impact report, outlining progress, learning, and the benefits of operating as a B Corp.
