The Better Business Network (BBN) is an inclusive nationwide community for purpose driven businesses that want to make the world a better place. We work to create a world in which all businesses are a force for good, advocating for sustainability, government support and creating regenerative practices.
At BBN, we are committed to making the world a better place—one business at a time. Whether you’re just starting on your journey or are looking to amplify your impact, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Becoming a BBN Member business means you will be joining hundreds of other impactful organisations as part of a powerful collective. By joining you get access to monthly regional events, online tools, resources and workshops, all to help you on your journey to create a better business.
Our flagship annual conference, the Better Business Summit takes place in Manchester in January 2025. Hundreds of purpose-driven individuals, change-makers, and innovators came to our sold out conferences in 2023 and 2024, a three day event that inspires businesses to take action.
Join BBN now to start making the world a better place.

The Better Business Network is the third company in the UK (4th in the World) to officially add Nature to our Board of Directors! This new concept creates a new role within the company which is specifically designed to represent nature and the wider natural world.
As part of our new Nature on the Board commitments, we’ve officially announced our Vision for Nature as the below:
“Act consciously in the way we work and impact nature, whilst reflecting our interconnection within nature and supporting other businesses to do the same.”
Through our events and experiences we will be implementing this Vision to inspire and educate BBN Members to take action.
