On 10th May we’re launching a new online B Corp support group for small businesses, because we’re super-keen to showcase the big difference that so many small businesses are making.
“But we’re only small…” are words we often hear when talking to businesses about the opportunity and responsibility for us all to adapt to the changing needs of our people, communities, and the environment, and how the B Corp journey can help.
There are 5.6 million ‘only small’ businesses in the UK.
Imagine, just imagine, if ALL 5.6 million of them committed to acting as a force for good.
That would see almost every business leader in the UK considering the impact of their business decisions on their people, communities, and the planet, alongside optimising profit.
Now we’re talking.
We’re talking positive impact at scale.
Because small changes can make a big difference.
And this is where B Corp Certification (or B Corps) can be really helpful.
B Corps are organisations that walk the talk.
They are businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, are transparent, independently verified, and legally accountable.
In fact, B Corp Certification is the only globally recognised Certification which assesses the impact of every part of your business; governance, employees, communities, the environment, and customers.
The assessment (B Impact Assessment, or BIA) is rigorous, intentionally difficult, and at the same time a great way to measure and improve what matters.
At UK for Good we know loads of small businesses that are doing great things, are perhaps keen to embark on their B Corp journey but not sure where to start, or how to get the assessment (BIA) over the line.
That’s why we’re launching our online B Corp for Small Business Programme.
We want to help you on your B Corp journey, because small is beautiful, and small CAN be B Corp.
Over 90% of the 1200 B Corps in the UK are SMEs, so you’ll be in great company.
Are you ready to step up and B the Change that the world so desperately needs and deserves?
Places are strictly limited as we are committed to keeping our cohorts small and meaningful…just like your business.
