F
or more than 25 years, Klausing Group has built landscapes that don’t just look good, but do good—paying every team member a living wage, offering full benefits, and giving back 10% of profits to the community. Now, they’ve taken it a step further by becoming one of Kentucky’s first Certified B corporations and a public benefit corporation, recognized for meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
For founder Roscoe Klausing, the certification isn’t a new direction, but a milestone: “It’s like having an independent referee say, ‘Yep, you’re doing it right,’” he says. From supporting biodiversity and stormwater management to reinvesting in nonprofits, the company is committed to continuous improvement and using business as a force for good. As Klausing puts it: “Business success and stakeholder wellbeing aren’t just compatible—they’re interdependent.” n Photos: Klausing Grup
