B Corp certification assesses an organisation’s entire operations, including governance, workers, community impact, environmental responsibility and customer practices. By securing B Corp status the chamber joins a global community of more than 10,000 certified companies. The UK has the largest and fastest‑growing B Corp community worldwide with more than 2,500 certified organisations from well‑known brands such as The Guardian, Patagonia and Innocent Drinks to a wide range of innovative SMEs across multiple sectors.
