Ready to get certified as a
Better Business?
Gain recognition, evidence your impact and join a community of purpose-driven businesses doing good.
The Better Business Standard is a simple framework to make being a Better Business easier.
We knew there was a simpler way to do good and share it, so the Better Business Standard was born. Working through seven pillars, this accreditation is years in the making, bringing together all of the good your business is doing into one place, with one benchmark, and one stamp of approval.
We believe accreditation should be practical, community-led and accessible to every business.
Developed by the Better Business Network, the Better Business Standard is the UK’s new accreditation framework for businesses that want to prove and improve their impact.
Already making progress as a Real Living Wage employer, 1% for the Planet member, Carbon Literate organisation or B Corp?
That all counts.
The Better Business Standard recognises existing commitments, reducing duplication and making impact reporting simpler.
Sign up to get started and you’ll also get a copy of The Better Business Standard: UK Impact Benchmark Report and be the first to see the data shaping this new accreditation.
Certification is available exclusively to Better Business Network members as part of our mission to help purpose-driven businesses grow their impact and grow their income, and to do business better.
