It's a story of commitment to higher standards, where businesses don't just aim for profit, but strive to make a positive impact on the world. This is a journey that reshapes not only the company’s operations but also its identity.
Post-B Corp certification, businesses have seen remarkable growth. For example, Clearly PR's average contract value surged by 63% after gaining B Corp status in November 2021, significantly higher than the UK B Corp average turnover growth of 26% from 2017-2020 (Raconteur, 2023).
B Corp certification significantly enhances sales, with a reported 33% CAGR among top-performing brands, outperforming both emerging brands and the overall Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverage categories (Helio, 2022).
B Corps have become magnets for like-minded individuals who are passionate about contributing to a better world. This is reflected in the 15% headcount growth rate from 2018-2021, surpassing the UK national average of 1% (Business Chief, 2022).
B Corps have a competitive edge in attracting investments, with 70% of B Corps successfully raising the equity finance they sought (Raconteur, 2023). Moreover, 56% of investors plan to increase their allocations to ESG-oriented investments in 2024 (Financial Times, 2023).Download our B Corp ROI Guide here
