Steves&Co., a strategic brand experience agency founded by Steve Ciantar-Barbara, has become Malta’s first Certified B Corporation™, joining over 9,000 businesses globally committed to balancing profit with purpose.

The B Corp™ Certification, awarded by B Lab™, is granted to companies that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. For Steves&Co., the certification represents not a change in direction, but a continuation of its founding principles – responsibility, collaboration, and impact.

“Over the past five years, we’ve delivered more than 20 major cross-regional projects, strengthening our position among internationally recognised agencies,” said Ciantar-Barbara. “Becoming a Certified B Corporation™ builds on that foundation, reaffirming that growth and responsibility must progress together.”

Head of Marketing & Strategy, Emily Micallef, added: “This certification provides a framework that keeps us accountable as we grow. It ensures every strategic and creative decision contributes positively, to our clients, our people, and the wider community.”

Approaching its 20th anniversary, Steves&Co. continues to evolve as a partner to brands seeking substance as well as success, proving that leadership today requires not just vision, but values in action.
