B Corp 10th Anniversary UK

A major milestone

The B Corp 10th Anniversary UK marks a decade of progress for responsible businesses across the country. This month marks a huge milestone for the UK B Corp community as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. From just 62 certified companies in 2015 to more than 2,600 today, the movement has redefined what responsible business looks like – proving that profit and purpose can thrive side by side.

At Fat Beehive, we became a certified B Corp in 2020 because we’ve always believed business can – and should – be a force for good. The B Corp framework gave us a way to measure that belief: to hold ourselves accountable for the impact we have on people, planet and profit, and to keep raising the bar.

Reflecting and celebrating

The “Take 10” campaign encourages every B Corp to pause, reflect and celebrate how far we’ve come. And there’s plenty to celebrate. According to B Lab UK, 79% of UK B Corps pay the real Living Wage, 87% have a written environmental management system, and 82% measure and manage their carbon emissions. Those are tangible commitments making a real difference.

For us, it’s been a journey of collaboration and continuous improvement. We’ve embedded sustainability into how we work, reduced waste and emissions across our operations, and kept accessibility, inclusion and wellbeing at the heart of our culture.

But what really drives us are the clients we serve – charities, non-profits and socially minded organisations using digital to make the world better. Our B Corp status reassures them that we share their values, and that the websites we build are grounded in ethics as well as excellence.

Looking ahead

As part of the B Corp 10th Anniversary UK celebrations, we’re reflecting on how this growing network is shaping the next decade. B Lab UK’s 10-year impact report highlights the momentum we’re building together. Collectively, UK B Corps have created over 60,000 jobs, cut their average carbon intensity by 27%, and are almost three times more likely to have diverse leadership teams than the national average. 

Those figures are inspiring proof that shared purpose delivers measurable change – and motivation to keep going. For us, the next chapter is about deeper collaboration: connecting with other B Corps to share knowledge, support innovation and keep pushing for systems change. That’s why we’ll be taking part in the “Take 10” celebrations and local B Social events this month, joining fellow B Corps to reflect, learn and look forward together.

A shared future

Being a B Corp isn’t just a badge for us; it’s a daily reminder of what matters. It influences the decisions we make, the partners we work with, and the standards we set for ourselves.

So here’s to 10 years of the UK B Corp movement – and to everyone proving that business can build a fairer, more sustainable economy.

Let’s #Take10 to celebrate how far we’ve come – and imagine what the next 10 could bring.
