What is UK for Good?
UK for Good is a B Corp consultancy dedicated to helping businesses do better business for a better world. It’s not just about ticking boxes or following trends—this consultancy guides companies to lead with purpose, compassion, and courage. The world is changing fast, and UK for Good believes the time for “Business as Usual” is over. Their approach focuses on transforming businesses into forces for good, ones that don’t just do things better but actually do better things. This means embedding social and environmental impact at the heart of business strategy, governance, and operations.
The Main Benefit: Why Become a B Corp?
Becoming a B Corp isn’t just a feel-good move—it’s smart business. Companies that commit to B Corp certification often outperform their peers in many ways. Here are some key figures and facts that highlight why this journey matters:
- 73%: The average size of wildlife populations has fallen by 73% in just 50 years, showing the urgent need for sustainable business practices.
- 40%: Wheat crop yields have dropped by 40%, with climate change and biodiversity loss threatening food security in the UK.
- 45%: Nearly half of CEOs doubt their businesses will be viable in 10 years without major reinvention.
- Greater profitability, higher innovation, increased customer loyalty, and much better employee retention are all linked to B Corps.
- Over 9,000 B Corps exist globally, with the UK being the fastest-growing market boasting over 2,000 certified businesses.
The B Corp Journey: What It Entails
Getting certified as a B Corp is no walk in the park. It’s a robust, intentionally challenging process designed to help businesses understand and improve their impact across all areas—governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. The B Impact Assessment (BIA) is the heart of this journey, requiring a score of 80 points or more to qualify. This assessment is independently verified by B Lab’s Standards team, ensuring transparency and accountability. The new standards launched in April 2025 raise the bar even higher, demanding measurable progress across seven critical impact topics. It’s not optional—these are must-haves for any business serious about change.
Leadership in a Changing World
Leadership today isn’t just about profits or market share. It’s about stepping up and asking, “You knew, what did you do?” The challenges facing businesses are complex—extreme weather, supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and fragile confidence among CEOs. UK for Good encourages leaders to embrace purpose, curiosity, and compassion. It’s about creating a legacy that future generations can be proud of. Business reinvention will be a full-contact sport, demanding deep change from individuals at all levels. The data shows that only those willing to adapt and grow will thrive.
