What is B Corp?

It’s a global network of over 6,000 companies that have truly committed to doing good while doing business. And now we’re proud to be one of them. Really proud.

The ultimate ambition is big: to reduce inequality and poverty around the world, create a more sustainable environment and build stronger communities. That’s a huge aim, and no single business can do that alone. But together, we’re way more powerful.

Becoming B Corp means we’re pushing to meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact in everything we do. Leading by example and encouraging others to make vital changes to how they operate.

What does it mean to you?

You might want a reassurance that Uncommon has a mission you can believe in. B Corp status is the perfect way to explain how committed we are and give clear evidence of how hard we’re working.

And if you are trying to become B Corp yourselves, having another B Corp as your landlord or business partner will really help you on that journey. So we really hope that you’ll join us.

When we all feed off a shared optimism, our impact will rocket. We can achieve so much when we work together on purpose.

What’s next?

This is just the start. There’s so much more we can do, and we’re determined to do it.

There’s a new assessment every three years, and between now and then, it’s all about continuous improvement. The higher we set our own standards here at Uncommon, the more influential we can be in the wider industry.

Because it’s time for collaboration, not competition. Together we can go further, changing this industry for the better.

“We’re proud to be B Corp certified but this is just the start. We’ll keep making our buildings more sustainable, keep teaming up with ethical partners, and keep doing more for the people who work here and those working from here. We can achieve so much when we work together on purpose.”

Chris Davies, CEO of Uncommon
