The first step on your B Corp journey. Championing businesses that are a force for good.

B Corps are leading the shift in the systemic change to make businesses a force for good. The UK has become the fastest growing B Corp community in the world, with over 1,300 UK B Corps in a community of over 6,000 companies globally.

B Corporations are verified by B Lab, as companies which meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. In order to become certified, companies have to complete and achieve a score of at least 80 in the B Impact Assessment (BIA), alongside some legal requirements.

• To understand what being a certified B Corporation business means, why this is important and how this can be beneficial to your business.

• To understand what the requirements are for becoming a B Corporation, and how to navigate the B Impact Assessment (BIA) process and ensure correct completion of this.

• To gain a detailed overview of Impact Business Models, and each of the 5 impact areas included within the BIA .

• Leave prepared for the steps following the submission and post-certification, and the future changes coming up for the B Corp standards.

The workshop is run by Beyondly’s two highly experienced sustainability consultants, Susanna Jackson (PIEMA), a trained B Corp consultant and our Lead Consultant for Sustainability and ESG, and Liz Wood (MIEMA CEnv), our Sustainability Manager and Principal Consultant. Both are committed to enabling and supporting businesses wishing to be more sustainable, purposeful and successful.
