About B Lab UK

B Lab UK is part of a global non-profit network transforming the economy to benefit people and the planet. We support and connect over 2,700 UK B Corps and purpose-driven businesses, and lead the Better Business Act—a policy campaign to build an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system.

Who is B Lab UK?

B Lab UK leads the B Corp movement in the UK to redefine success in business. We build and mobilise a community of purpose-driven businesses, champion a better way of doing business, and influence systemic change across the UK economy.

Launched in 2015, B Lab UK brought the global B Corp movement to the UK. Following in the footsteps of Australia, East Africa, mainland Europe, and North and South America working towards a shared vision of an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.

A growing movement of purpose-driven business

Advancing a new model that moves from concentrating wealth and power to ensuring equity, from extraction to generation, and from prioritising individualism to embracing interdependence.

In the UK, that shift is already underway. There are now over 2,700+ B Corps across the country proving a different way of doing business is not only possible, but already happening.

What we do

Our work is intertwined with the broader global network. While B Lab is known for certifying B Corporations™ when they meet verified standards for social and environmental business practices, we also mobilise a community of changemakers and work to shift the policies and culture that shape how UK companies behave.
