It’s March and that means it’s B Corp Month! But what the heck is a B Corp, I hear you ask? Well, strap in, because here’s everything you need to know:
What is a B Corp?
B Corp is an accreditation given by the non-profit organisation B Lab to businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
How do you become a B Corp?
Becoming a B Corp is a rigorous and comprehensive process conducted by B Lab, assessing a company across key areas to ensure they meet the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility.
What is B Corp Month?
B Corp Month is an annual, global campaign to raise the awareness of the B Lab and the B Corp community. Members of the community will champion the message, spreading the love with events and activations throughout the month.
Is 58 and CO a B Corp?
Yes! We have been proud members since December 2019, there were just a few hundred brands in the collective. Now there is a global network of over 8,000 companies and counting. Learn more about our B Corp credentials.
What is 58 and CO doing for B Corp Month?
Throughout this month we’ll be doing our part to spread the word about this incredible community and why we’re a part of it. We’ve also collaborated with bars and restaurants across London to participate in dedicated cocktail menus highlighting B Corp brands. Finally, we’ll be topping off the celebrations with an Olive Oil and Martini Masterclass with fellow B Corp companions Citizens of Soil, to launch our collaborative new Olive Oil Vodkas.
