Have you ever thought about whether your business could become a B Corp?

Have you ever thought about whether your business could become a B Corp?

B Corps are outperforming ordinary businesses—and the data proves it.

B Lab UK’s new data on B Corp performance is a testament to the success of the UK B Corp movement, which is officially the largest in the world for the first time.

The data highlights:

️ 23.2 per cent average revenue growth for small and medium-sized UK B Corps (vs. the national average of 16.8%)

️ 9.6 per cent rise in employee headcount, while the national average fell by 0.5%

️ 104 per cent more likely to use renewable energy within their operations

️ 114 per cent more likely to have representatives from the community on their board of directors

With over 2,400 UK B Corps leading the way, it's clear that prioritising people and the planet isn't just ethical; it’s commercially smart.

 

Do you even know what it is or where you start?

On Thursday, 5th June 2025, we’re bringing together for the fourth year in a row, purpose-led businesses, sustainability champions, and changemakers across Lancashire for Business As A Power For Good otherwise known as B Corp Fest 2025.
