About us
B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. B Corp Certification is the only certification that measures a company’s entire social and environmental performance. Certified B Corporations achieve a minimum verified score on the B Impact Assessment, proving their business is meeting the highest standards of verified performance. B Corp Certification doesn’t just prove where a company excels now—it commits them to consider stakeholder impact for the long term by building it into a company’s legal structure. The B Impact Assessment evaluates a company’s operations and business model impact on their workers, community, environment, and customers. Certified B Corporations make their B Impact Report transparent on bcorporation.uk

With #InternationalWomensDay tomorrow, we're celebrating the women-owned #BCorps and leaders driving change, challenging the status quo, and proving that business can be a force for good. Did you know? 💡 32% of B Corps worldwide are women-owned, and 41% have majority women in leadership roles. Yet, progress isn’t happening fast enough. The global gender gap has only closed by 68.5%, and at this rate, it’ll take 134 more years to achieve full equality. We can’t wait that long. That's why we're taking action now. Did you know B Lab UK offers an equity discount to UK entrepreneurs facing systemic barriers to business ownership? (Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ekDWmUuU). Business can drive change—and you can be part of it. Whether it’s choosing to buy from women-led B Corps, advocating for inclusive policies in your workplace, or encouraging your company to prioritise gender equity, every action helps build a more equitable future. Let's make sure women are celebrated and empowered every day of the year. 🌟 #BCorpMonth #GenB
