What’s a B-Corp?

Written by: Rachel February 15, 2021

If you’ve been browsing our products lately, you might have spotted a category going by the name of ‘Certified B-Corp’ nestled in among them. If your first thought was ‘what’s a B-Corp when it’s at home?’ you’re not the only one - but B-Corps are a kind of business you’ll be hearing much more about in the future. So let’s take a look at what they are and why you should care about them...

What does being a B-Corp mean?

B-Corps - otherwise known as Certified B Corporations - are companies around the world who use business as a force for good. As we all know, actions speak louder than words, so it’s not enough for these companies simply to write ‘we’re good guys’ on their About Us page and leave it at that. Each and every one of them has been rigorously assessed and gained certification that proves they’re upholding the values of a B-Corp. Which, from the horse’s mouth, are as follows:


“Certified B Corps are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This is a community of leaders, driving a global movement of people using businesses as a force for good.”


So, why should that matter to you? Well, the long and short of it is that as a consumer, you know that if you buy from a B-Corp then you’re giving your money to a business with a conscience. You’ll know that when you buy your household goods, you’re contributing to a community that’s doing something to improve the world’s problems - like inequality, poverty and climate change.
