Making Business a Force For Good

In our work with business founders, innovators and start-ups we are frequently asked for external resources and potential collaborations that align with our clients’ objectives. Here’s three outstanding sustainability organisations to support your journey.

Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

Society’s most challenging problems cannot be solved by government and non-profits alone.

Better Business Act
 
1000+ companies have chosen to be part of the coalition for a cleaner, greener, fairer future for all. 76% in the UK want businesses to be legally responsible for their impact. Our research shows that UK voters and consumers want business to do better. Three quarters of the UK public think business has a responsibility to protect the environment and the majority favour brands that do good in the world.The Better Business Act will transform the way we do business, so that every single company in the UK, whether big or small, takes ownership of its social and environmental impact.The climate emergency and social inequality are profound and pressing problems, thrown into sharp relief by the COVID crisis, that can only be solved if we harness the enormous potential of entrepreneurs, innovation and enterprise. But for the past half-century, business has become separated from the communities it needs to serve. The failure to align the interests of shareholders with those of wider society and the environment has contributed to a set of enormous challenges that threaten peoples’ health, wealth and the natural world.
