As a Margate girl, it has to be Haeckels. Positioning themselves as a community problem solver, they invest in and support our local community and economy, while in true B Corp style also tackling the bigger, more pervasive issues in the beauty industry.

Hawksmoor has shown how to marry great food with strong ethical principles and sustainable sourcing at heart. Their bone marrow is phenomenal.

Annie Olivier
Head of Growth
Our over consumption of clothing is fuelling an environmental and human rights crisis- but clothing brands like UK based Baukjen are modelling a new way of doing business. A commitment to slow fashion, carbon neutrality, and ethical supply chain management are challenging industry norms.

Bleddyn Harris
Head of People and Culture
It has to be TOTM, the Wales-based B Corp on a mission to inspire better, sustainable ways to manage periods. Their organic menstrual products have made over 4 million periods more sustainable and recovered the equivalent of over 10 million plastic applicators from the ocean! Da iawn, TOTM!

Abel and Cole are my choice. Provider of good quality food. I love that they work with a range of smaller producers. Giving opportunity to lesser known brands. Sustainable delivery is important to them - reusing their delivery boxes. They also offer recycling for items not widely recycled.

Director of Finance & Operations
As well as delicious peanut butter, I think Whole Earth are great pioneers and leaders – producing planet-friendly food for decades.
-
Ellie Adamson
Communications Coordinator
A difficult decision but... I find it inspiring how Divine Chocolate's mission goes beyond selling delicious chocolate. It is committed to fighting exploitation in cocoa supply chains and is co-owned by its Ghanian farmers, meaning they receive a share of the company's profits.
-

The B Corp that gets my vote is House of Baukjen, a family run clothing brand on a mission for change in the fashion industry. Actively fighting 'fast fashion' as well as campaigning for better practices in the industry. I'm a real advocate for some of the timeless pieces on their website too!

Lucy Brown
Interim Recertification Lead
Too Good To Go connects users with surplus food from businesses at a discount price - that would otherwise go to waste. It's innovative and benefits everyone involved, including the planet! Their Instagram account also has super useful tips on eating seasonally and saving food waste at home.
-
Lucy Hall
Campaigns & Events Coordinator
For me it has to be Chilly's who are on a mission to accelerate the adoption and everyday use of reusable products. I’m rarely without my mini bottle!

Oddbox is definitely one of my favourites. They are on a mission to reduce food waste helping save the planet with every bit of wonky fruit and veg! It also challenges me to get adventurous with my cooking!
-
Megan Dacey
Brand & Creative Manager
It's so hard to chose as I'm a fan of so many! I would have to go for Who Gives a Crap - not only do they deliver eco-friendly toilet roll to your house, but they donate 50% of profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world.

Sharnique Williams
Finance officer
Tony’s Chocolonely inspires me the most not only because of my love for chocolate but for their mission to make themselves & other chocolate brands 100% slave free. They raise awareness of child labour & slavery.
