GSE obtains B Corp® certification and strengthens its commitment to more responsible construction

The GSE Group, of which GSE Iberia is part, has obtained B Corp® certification, one of the most demanding international recognitions in terms of social and environmental impact and governance.

The certification has been awarded by B Lab, an independent, international non-profit organisation that promotes the B Corp movement and verifies that certified companies meet its standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and corporate accountability. GSE achieved an overall score of 98.2 points.

A rigorous assessment with publicly available results

GSE achieved an overall score of 98.2 points in the B Impact Assessment.GSE ha alcanzado una puntuación global de 98,2 puntos en la evaluación B Impact. his result is well above the 80 points required to obtain certification and significantly higher than the average score of 50.9 points achieved by companies that complete the assessment.

The analysis conducted by B Lab covers five key areas:

• Governance.
• People.
• Community.
• Environment.
• Customers.

The certification therefore does not merely assess specific environmental initiatives. It examines how decisions are made, how relationships with teams and communities are managed, the impact of the company’s activities and how customers are served.

A step consistent with GSE’s evolution

Obtaining B Corp® certification forms part of a transformation that GSE has been pursuing for several years. In 2023, the Group adopted Entreprise à Mission status in France, formally incorporating social and environmental objectives into its business model.

The certification now strengthens this journey through an external, public and verifiable framework. More than a distinction, it represents a tool for measuring progress, identifying opportunities for improvement and maintaining the commitments undertaken.

As Roland Paul, President of GSE, states: “Being a B Corp means affirming that economic performance cannot be separated from social, environmental and territorial impact.”

What does this mean for GSE Iberia?

The scope of GSE’s certification includes its activities in Spain and Portugal. For GSE Iberia, this recognition reinforces an approach to industrial, logistics and digital projects that goes beyond the construction of the building itself.

It means continuing to incorporate, from the earliest stages, considerations related to facility performance, efficient use of resources, people’s well-being, territorial integration and the impact of the decisions made during design and construction.

It also means progressing alongside clients, partners and specialist companies, based on the understanding that the transformation of the sector requires shared objectives and ongoing collaboration between all the stakeholders involved in each project.

A commitment to continuous improvementUn compromiso de mejora continua

B Corp® certification does not represent an end point. It means joining an international community of companies that share the same ambition: to use their business activity to generate a positive impact and contribute to a more responsible, inclusive and sustainable economy.

For GSE Iberia, this milestone reinforces its commitment to continuing to develop projects that combine business performance, responsibility and long-term value for people and the territories in which it operates.

The data relating to the score, threshold, areas assessed and geographical scope have been verified against GSE’s public profile on B Lab. GSE has been listed as a certified company since December 2025, and the certification includes its operations in Spain and Portugal.
