Bintang is proud to announce that Care Concierge has joined Involve Asia as our second portfolio company to obtain B Corp certification this year!
Given Care Concierge’s positioning as a leader within the ASEAN aged care industry, their certification demonstrates the company’s commitment to enshrine positive social and environmental impact within their business model.
Details around Care Concierge’s BIA score of 82.9 across the five impact areas of Workers, Community, Customers, Environment and Governance can be found on their B Corp profile.
By successfully certifying, Care Concierge joins an esteemed global network of almost 10,000 leading businesses across the world that balance commercial success against wider stakeholder responsibility including Patagonia, Unilever, Danone, InNature Berhad, Ben & Jerry's and Involve Asia.
Care Concierge provides personalized senior care services including assisted living, day care, and home care services to address the growing needs of Malaysia’s increasingly ageing population. To meet the concurrent growth in demand for elder caregivers, the company also conducts basic and specialized caregiving training courses for family caregivers, which are certified by and claimable under HRD Corp to improve caregiving education accessibility.
Within the elder care market, Care Concierge is the first company in Southeast Asia to achieve B Corp certification, and the second company within this industry in Asia to do so after Freesia Company Limited in Japan.
The secondment of our Investment Analyst Han Ming Sik to Care Concierge along with continuous support from our representative board member Jacqueline See as well as Bintang senior team members Adelene Low and Ee Rong Song were also major contributors towards Care Concierge’s successful B Corp certification.
Bintang remains passionate about supporting companies that personify business as a force for good. By securing two B Corp certifications for our portfolio companies within a short span of 2 months we signal our continued commitment towards our goal of building 150 B Corp portfolio companies by 2050.
Our team would like to convey our heartiest congratulations to Care Concierge’s co-founders Martin Yap and Justin Yap and their entire team for this remarkable achievement - your commitment to create meaningful impact through good and ethical business practices is an inspiration to the wider business community.
