Purple 傲然加入日益壯大的企業行列,共同將商業轉化為造福社會的力量

室內定位服務的領先提供商 Purple 很高興地宣布其榮獲共益企業(B Corp)認證,這體現了該公司致力於對社會和環境產生積極影響。這項由 B Lab 審核的殊榮認證,證實了 Purple 符合在績效、問責制和透明度方面的嚴格標準。

獲得了 83.6 的總分,遠高於普通企業 50.9 的中位數得分,Purple 展示了其在五大關鍵影響領域追求卓越的承諾:公司治理、員工照顧、社區參與、環境保護和客戶影響。B Corp 認證過程非常全面,需要提供在社會和環境責任實踐方面的證據,包括能源使用、廢棄物管理、員工薪酬、多元化和公司透明度。

Purple 人才與文化資深副總裁 Esther Park 對我們獲得該認證感到非常高興:「我們為加入 B Corp 社群感到無比自豪。這一成就是我們團隊辛勤工作和奉獻精神的證明,並加深了我們對社會和環境產生積極影響的承諾。」

常見問題

What does B Corporation certification mean for an enterprise WiFi provider?

B Corporation certification is a rigorous third-party assessment verified by B Lab that measures an organisation social and environmental performance, legal accountability, and public transparency. For Purple, achieving an overall impact score of 83.6 (well above the median score of 50.9) confirms high standards across corporate governance, worker welfare, community investment, environmental stewardship, and customer data privacy.

How can enterprise WiFi networks reduce energy consumption and Scope 2 emissions?

Enterprise wireless networks powered by Purple can substantially reduce Scope 2 electricity use by implementing automated Power over Ethernet (PoE) scheduling. A standard enterprise WiFi 6 or 6E access point consumes 15 to 25 watts under operation. By scheduling low-occupancy off-peak hibernation windows (such as 10 to 12 hours overnight and across weekends), venues save 50 to 110 kWh per access point annually, directly lowering utility costs and carbon emissions.

How does Purple support public sector procurement and UK PPN 06/20 social value criteria?

Under procurement frameworks like the UK Public Procurement Notice (PPN 06/20), public sector buyers allocate 10% to 20% of tender evaluation weighting to social value. Partnering with a Certified B Corp like Purple provides verified proof of supply chain ethics, net zero carbon commitments, digital inclusion initiatives, and fair work practices, accelerating compliance in NHS Trust, local government, and higher education tenders.

How does digital guest WiFi onboarding reduce physical paper waste?

Replacing physical sign-in sheets, paper visitor badges, feedback comment cards, and printed venue waivers with Purple digital captive portal onboarding eliminates thousands of sheets of paper per location each year. This removes physical printing and disposal costs while preventing associated supply chain greenhouse gas emissions.

How does accessible guest WiFi promote digital inclusion in public venues?

Guest WiFi provides critical internet access for visitors, students, patients, and residents who lack high-speed home broadband or unlimited mobile data plans. Purple captive portals comply with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines, offering high-contrast screen-reader support, simplified multilingual login flows, and zero-monetisation data privacy to ensure equitable digital access.

Can sustainable PoE power scheduling be deployed on existing wireless hardware?

Yes. Intelligent PoE power scheduling and radio sleep policies can be configured in coordination with Purple software across existing enterprise switches and controllers from Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba Networking, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, and Ubiquiti UniFi without requiring new hardware installation.
