7 organisations kicking ass as a B-Corp
Being a certified B Corporation means the organisation meets the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. Here are 7 of our favourite B Corporations doing interesting things, and kicking ass.
We're proud to be part of an incredible network of organisations aiming to do better for the world. Being a certified B Corporation means the organisation meets the highest standards of 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.
When creating the Escape 100 list of best organisations to escape to in 2019, being a certified B Corporation was one of the 6 key criteria we measured organisations against. Here are 7 of our favourite B Corporations doing interesting things, and kicking ass.
Food production is the biggest contributor to climate change, but one-third of all food is wasted. Toast Ale is here to change that. They brew planet-saving beer with surplus fresh bread. By giving all profits to charity, they fund systemic change to fix the food system. Cheers to that.
Allplants believe that people’s everyday choices can change the world. In fact, eating a plant-based diet is the single most impactful thing you can do to lower your carbon footprint. So, allplants is here to make it easier (and tastier) to make a simple switch towards sustainable living. They make chef-prepared, delicious plant-based meals, freeze them fresh, and deliver them from their London kitchen to doorsteps UK-wide - making it irresistibly easy for people to switch up their diet a few days each week.
TYF create life-changing, immersive experiences for leaders in business, families, schools and colleges. Their work ranges from nature-based adventures, including coasteering and sea kayaking on the Pembrokeshire coastline, through to talks and courses for businesses and schools. They also run an ethical retail store only stocking brands that match B Corp values.
Right now, TYF are working with leading educators and innovators to ensure that every child leaves school with the confidence and skills to change the world, and that future employers know how to use these skills to prepare for a world that's shifting faster than they realise.
It started in a Melbourne cafe in 2008 with a simple idea: keep it and use it again. In 2012 KeepCup launched in the UK, inspiring and facilitating reuse in the UK and Europe.
Their mission is to encourage the use of reusable cups with great products, but also by delivering a positive global campaign that strives to make a difference in how people think about convenience culture.
Ethical Angel is a virtual marketplace that benefits people, planet and profit. Their technology provides users with unique projects and experiences from which they can develop and learn a range of skills, network, collaborate, ideate and grow.
Their mission is to drive resources to and break down barriers for entrepreneurs solving Big F*ing Problems (BFPs). Unreasonable is driven by a sense of impatience when it comes to putting a dent on the world’s toughest challenges. Rather than working with entrepreneurs at the early stages of their development, they've found that the best approach is to support growth-stage entrepreneurs who are already wielding the most impactful solutions of our time. Today, their community of over 200 fellows is positively impacting over 350 million individuals in more than 180 countries.
Tribe Impact Capital is the UK’s first dedicated impact wealth manager. They build and manage portfolios on behalf of wealth holders that align their financial aspirations with their values and the change they want to see in the world: their impact. Every investment looks to achieve a positive environment and/or social impact (as defined by the UN SDGs) as well as financial returns.

We're also very excited to be announcing the Escape 100 list for 2021 in February.
