We&#8217;re all <a href=\"https:\/\/bcorporation.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B Corp<\/a>-certified businesses! In fact, there are over 1,100 B Corps in the UK, with even more starting to recognise the benefits of joining the exclusive ethical club.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you\u2019re wondering what B Corp status means for businesses and, importantly, what it means for you, keep reading. We\u2019ll tell you what B Corp <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">actually <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">means and why buying from B Corp-certified businesses is important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, what is a B Corp?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A B Corp is a company that is certified by the non-profit B Lab (where \u201cB\u201d stands for \u201cbenefit\u201d) to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The certification process starts with an application and an in-depth review of a business&#8217; practices. Once a company meets the application requirements and passes an inspection, it officially becomes a Certified B Corporation (or \u201cB Corp\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Becoming B Corp certified is serious business, and it takes a lot of work and absolute dedication. From start to finish, it took us almost two years to obtain our certification, which we proudly got in January 2022 (read more about our journey to <a href=\"https:\/\/work.life\/sustainability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">becoming B Corp<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Businesses go through an intense testing process that looks at five impact areas: Governance, Community, Workers, Environment and Customers. They must score at least 80 points on what B Lab calls the B Impact Assessment, which is independently verified. Then, you must re-certify every three years to keep your shiny B Corp status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Phew &#8211; we\u2019re exhausted just thinking about it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our point is, when you buy from a B Corp \u2013 or work with one \u2013 you can relax knowing you\u2019re supporting a business committed to making positive change in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_right_thing_to_do\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The right thing to do<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">From brand building and increasing credibility to reducing your carbon footprint and saving money, there are many benefits of being a B Corp. But being a certified B Corp isn&#8217;t just great for businesses; it&#8217;s good news for us as consumers, our communities, and the wider world we live in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There\u2019s been a huge rise in conscious consumerism in recent years, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/walnutunlimited.com\/rise-of-the-conscious-consumer\/]\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">75%<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> of us consciously modifying our behaviour when it comes to consumer items. It\u2019s clear people are more environmentally and socially conscious than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But when you\u2019re trying to sniff out those more sustainable and ethical brands, there\u2019s so much to consider. Looking for the B Corp stamp of approval, or other sustainable certifications like Fairtrade and Leaping Bunny Cruelty Free, is one way to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Of course, we know you can\u2019t buy everything from a B Corp. And there are many sustainable companies out there that don\u2019t have a B Corp certification yet. But it\u2019s one simple way to check which brands are dedicated to positively impacting the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Put simply, buying from B Corp businesses is the right thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Align_with_your_values\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Align with your values<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A B Corp certification also shows a company\u2019s entire social and environmental impact. So, buying from a B Corp helps you support progressive businesses with a strong sense of purpose and positive impact on society and the environment. Who doesn\u2019t want to be a part of all that wholesomeness?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What&#8217;s more, B Corp-certified businesses show they have a purpose beyond simply making money. They want to create a positive influence through their business practices, products or services. Being a B Corp is all about putting people and the planet before profit. And it\u2019s something we fiercely believe in as we strive to create sustainable, inclusive and happier workspaces.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you have strong social and\/or environmental morals, buying from a B Corp is a great way to support a business that aligns with your values. And, because B Corp businesses are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their employees, customers, suppliers, community, and environment, you can be sure they practice what they preach.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_mark_of_trust\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A mark of trust<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You see, being a B Corp involves more than just good intentions; it&#8217;s also about living up to a certain standard. With such high accountability measures, transparency is a big part of a B Corp certification. So, it\u2019s usually a mark of trust when buying from a brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is particularly important if you want to shop more sustainably. More of us now want to know where our products are produced, the environmental impact and whether workers are getting fair pay, for example.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sustainability is a big thing for most people these days. By looking out for brands with the B Corp logo, you can be more confident that your money will go to a business that is doing good in the world.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proud_to_be_a_B_Corp\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Proud to be a B Corp<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As you can probably tell, we\u2019re proud to be a B Corp workspace.
