There's a movement of movements coming

Hi!

There’s a movement of movements coming.

Have you felt it? We feel it at UK for Good - a shift in the products we buy, the services we use and the places we work - to a more conscious act of doing good for people, nature, and our planet. We purchase with purpose.

And it’s growing. More business leaders are realising that they have a choice and power in how they run their business to make a better social and environmental impact on our world.

Dr Hahrie Han shares three key themes that make a movement a success:

1. they make the participation of ordinary people possible
2. it’s probable, so that people want to participate
3. a powerful vehicle is used, so people can realise their own power

Our movement of choice is B Corp.

This week, B Lab UK announced a huge milestone – there are now 2000 UK Certified B Corps! And over 8000 worldwide. This is a movement!

To celebrate, here are some of our UK for Good community members who are already part of this brilliant movement:

If you are keen to join the B Corp movement, here’s my three top links I share with clients;

• B Impact Assessment - a free-to-use tool to measure your company social and environmental standards
• B Corp Directory – you can search all B Corps worldwide by location, size, industry, and ownership structure to see what good looks like
• Impact Reports Archive – this is where you can access 100s of company impact reports to learn about a company’s impact. You will spot some of our members' reports on there too!

Other UK movements we support and can recommend are Business Declares and Better Business Act.

If you’d like to know more about joining a movement and which certifications may be best for your business, contact me and we can chat.

Our next B Corp for Small Business cohort starts in May and we offer 40% equity discount for marginalised groups, including women. Why not join us?

Best wishes and impact,?
