Beyond the certification: Is B Corp the only way to do good?

The B Corp movement has taken the world by storm. As a global symbol of high social and environmental performance, it feels like it’s become the "gold standard" for businesses that want to be a force for good. But is a single certification the only path to do better business?

Join Bath Unlimited this March for a frank, unfiltered discussion on the future of purpose-driven business. We’re bringing together a panel of local leaders to debate whether the B Corp framework is the ultimate destination or just one of many routes to impact.

We’ll be joined by two proud Bath B Corps and two non-certified businesses who are delivering radical social and environmental change through alternative models.

We’ll be asking thought provoking questions:

• Does the B Corp "stamp" truly guarantee impact or is it a box-ticking exercise?
• How do non-certified businesses prove their integrity without a well-known badge?
• In a city like Bath, known for its innovation and independence, which model drives more local change?
• Is the cost and rigour of certification a barrier to the very businesses we need to see succeeding?

Whether you are a certified B Corp, a business curious about the process, or a skeptic who believes there’s a better way to operate, this event is for you. Come for the showcase of Bath’s most impactful companies; stay for a debate that challenges the status quo of "doing good."
