Charities are fundamentally mission driven and committed to making a positive change in the world. They often fill the gaps that society and governments aren’t set up to do. Charities are continually striving for good and trying to make things better for their beneficiaries. Some companies share similar values, and they’re part of the B Corp movement. The aim of the B Corp movement is to make it easier for mission-driven companies to have a more positive impact on the planet and its people.
The B Corp movement’s Theory of Change defines social, environmental, and governance best practices for businesses. Their standards serve as the foundation for everything their network does – from B Corp Certification to their policy work worldwide. Companies from around the world have undergone rigorous certification to earn the title certified B Corp and proudly incorporate this title and messaging into their brand work. We count 6,000 certified B corp companies around the world, including Lily’s Kitchen (pet food), Ben & Jerrys (ice cream), Delphis Eco (cleaning products) and Tony’s Chocolonely (chocolate).
What can we learn from B Corp companies and incorporate into our own charity brand work? And what can we learn from charities who are boldly behaving like B Corp companies in their brand work? Join us for this insightful session.

Brand as the voice of a movement A brand is much more than a logo. It is a set of core beliefs. It is a vision. It is a promise. The vision of the B Corp movement is to create an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economic system for all people and the planet. B Lab UK is building the B Corp movement to change our economic system – and to do so, we must change the rules of the game. In this presentation, B Lab UK’s head of communications Hannah Reiss, talks about building a brand through building a community and a movement. Hannah draws on examples from B Corps themselves and narrows in on what the charity sector can learn from their collective action.
