For B Corps
The UK is now home to the second largest B Corp community in the world. If you work for a B Corp, find out how you can make the most of the community.
The B Corp community
The community sits at the heart of our movement. B Corps are proof that embedding purpose into business is not only feasible, but good for growth and resilience. Their ongoing championing of business as a force for good is accelerating the momentum of the movement.
With their common values rooted in the Declaration of Interdependence, B Corps are working together to reinvent the role of business in society. Achieving certification is just the beginning and every B Corp is committed to measuring, and therefore improving, their impact throughout the 3 year certification period. No B Corp is perfect, which is why we create space for B Corps to collaborate, learn from each other and make progress.
Meet your fellow B Corps
With an ever-growing community in the UK and around the world, there are B Corps you can buy from, work for, do business with and invest in.

B Locals are community groups run by B Corps and B Leaders.

B Corps recertify every three years
To maintain certification, B Corps have to recertify every three years to demonstrate that they meet our rigorous standards. In the intervening years every B Corp is required to write an impact report, to update on their progress and to continue to be accountable and transparent about their impact.
There are plenty of resources on the B Hive to help you prepare for your recertification and to provide insights for creating an impact report. Or download our guide - How to write an impact report - for more information and inspiration.
