What is a B Corp™?

B Corporation is a certification presented by B Lab UK recognising businesses committed to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

We’ve always prioritised our impact, B Corps like us are driven by purpose over profit, making positive change a core part of our business objectives. However achieving B Corp status is no small feat. It involves a thorough evaluation of how a company upholds governance and impacts its workers, customers, community, and the environment. Only around 1 in 30 companies who register with the B Impact Assessment will certify as B Corps. To put it short, it’s not an easy thing to do.

But this certification is just the beginning. B Corps commit to a framework for continuous improvement, pledging to meet rising standards and create a lasting, meaningful impact for all stakeholders.
