Why Join Us?

At the Better Business Network (BBN), we connect purpose-driven businesses that want to grow, collaborate and make a positive impact. Whether you’re just starting your journey or already leading change, you’ll find the community, tools and support you need.

As a member, you also gain access to the Better Business Standard (BBS), the U.K. accreditation designed for SMEs. Covering seven pillars of impact, it helps you prove and improve your progress while aligning with UK procurement rules, existing certifications like B Corp, Living Wage and 1% for the Planet, and global frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Joining BBN means you’re not just part of a network, you’re part of a movement driving meaningful change for people, the planet and future generations.
