35 B Corp Brands to Have on Your Radar to Help You Shop More Sustainably

Conscious of your carbon footprint and keen to make sure your wardrobe is doing its bit to counter climate change? That's where B Corp brands come in.

Not sure what a B Corp is or why buying from certified B Corp brands is so important? In short, it's a certification which indicates that a business is genuinely doing good by both people and the planet.

Sadly, shopping sustainably can feel like a minefield at the best of times. How do you avoid greenwashing? And identify brands endorsing fast fashion? And spot ethical clothing brands from the not-so-ethical?

By looking for the B Corp stamp of approval, that's how. While it's not the be-all and end-all - there are many smaller, independent sustainable brands that don't have a B Corp certification yet - it is a really easy way to identify if a brand is actually doing good sustainability-wise, and opting for business practices that don't harm our planet.

So, what is a B Corp?

Fun fact: as of March 2026, there are over 6000 certified B Corporations across over 150 industries in more than countries. In 2022, the UK reached 1,000 certified B Corp businesses - which is a lot. But what does being B Corp actually mean?

As stated on the Certified B Corporation website, B Corp brands:

"Meet high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy." Or, in simpler terms, a B Corp brand is a sustainable company that puts sustainable practice first.

"Modern business should be about putting value back into the industry, not simply extracting from it," says Anna Woods, Founder of Positive Retail. "Right now, truth and genuine value can feel like rare commodities. Becoming a B Corp pushes you to examine every aspect of your business through a lens of decency, ensuring you are kind to people and the planet, while responsibly protecting profit. From day one, it was important to me to build a brand with those principles at its core."

While it's come a long way since it started, this year, the B Corp framework is evolving into seven specific impact areas with stricter minimum requirements. In other words, certification is becoming more challenging, but that’s exactly what makes it more meaningful.

Being a B Corp isn’t just about environmental impact; it’s about ensuring every aspect of your business is fundamentally decent. It’s a model for everyone, and a clear direction for the future of business.

Wondering why brands have to re-certify every three years? Simply because certification isn’t a finish line; rather, an ongoing commitment. Each certification process invites scrutiny and encourages businesses to deeply examine every part of their model - because modern business should be about putting value back into the industry, after all, not just extracting from it.

People are certainly starting to understand the importance of B Corp, too, with new statistics from the B Lab brand showing that one in seven people have heard of the B Corp movement in Europe.

How do you become a Certified B Corporation?

Good question.

According to the B Corp website, the assessment 'evaluates how your company’s operations and business model impact your workers, community, environment, and customers. From your supply chain and input materials to your charitable giving and employee benefits, B Corp Certification proves your business is high standards of verified social and environmental performance.'

So, essentially, it takes a deep dive into your business model and practices to make sure every step of the process is sustainable for both people and planet. B Corp brands treat employees well, and the planet well, too.

Only brands verified by their 'B Lab' actually make it to B Corp status - it's notoriously thorough and difficult to get the badge of honour, making sure only businesses who are genuinely going the extra mile are accredited.

It's not-for-profit and wants to inspire people globally to use business as a force of good.

Plus, B Corp brands don't claim to be perfect - actually, far from it. The stamp means they're doing the best they can - and a fair bit more than most brands without the stamp - and, as per the Propercorn website, a certified B Corp, are 'alike in their motivation to do more and grow in the right way'.

Why should you buy from a B Corp?

So, why is buying from these businesses so important? Silly question, really: we're facing a climate crisis and, if we don't change our ways soon, risk destroying our planet.

Shopping with brands making a difference is not longer just a nice way to reduce your carbon footprint - it's essential for everyone to survive.

How do you identify a B Corp brand?

It's pretty simple: just look out for the below logo on the packaging or website of your favourite brands.

Most of the time, it'll be displayed with pride the bottom of their homepage, on their social media, or on their packaging. Keep an eye out.
