The Business Network That Makes The World A Better Place.

About us

The Better Business Network (BBN) is a nationwide membership organisation for purpose-driven businesses across all industries and sectors that want to create a better world. The BBN gives purpose-driven businesses access to regional and online events, tools, resources and workshops to help them not just grow their business but also increase their social and environmental impact. BBN Membership allows your business to use collective action to support amazing projects like Client Earth, Climate Crisis projects and 1% for the Planet while also helping our community increase their individual impact and income. 91.6% of Members had gained industry value from being in BBN. 84% said they had worked with, collaborated with or done business with other members of the Network since joining and a further 79.2% said they’ve increased their positive social and environmental impact since joining BBN. We host the consistently sold out Better Business Summit in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University. It features brands such as Patagonia, 1% For the Planet, Faith In Nature, Tony's Chocolonely, B Lab UK and other purpose driven Businesses. It is a two day conference followed by a day in nature. Named 'The Best Sustainability and Business Conference in the UK', join hundreds of Business Leaders who want to redefine what it means to create a better world by joining us at our three day event from 15th - 17th January 2025.

    We're excited to kick off B Corp Month by highlighting one of the key pillars: Governance! We believe that strong governance is the foundation of a purpose-driven business, ensuring accountability, transparency and positive impact. Here are some of the ways we're driving better governance: ✨ Our Sustainability Leadership Team ensures we stay focused on our sustainability goals, responsible supply chains and embracing circularity in everything we do ✨ We became The Better Business Network members in 2024, joining hundreds of other impactful organisations as part of a nationwide community for purpose driven businesses that want to make the world a better place. ✨ We have an Office Green Team made up of passionate individuals who champion sustainability efforts and create positive change from within #BCorpMonth #BCorp #BCorpMonth2025 #TheFineBeddingCompany

  • What a way to kick off B Corp Month! 🚀 After PurposeFest on Tuesday kicking off the week in style, Better Business Breakfast X People Planet Pastry in London was back in full swing this morning! This month is all about creating a positive impact in the world and making a difference through your business operations. Today's event was definitely all about that! 🌍 The Sunshine was out and we even had a few people braving the March chill out on the balcony! 🌞 What a spread we had, just look at that food! 👀 Attendees were treated to a scrumptious breakfast and great teas and coffee as they networked. It was a really friendly atmosphere, with lots of connections made. Massive thanks to Dan Beaumont and Olly Morton for hosting the event, Small99 and Sage for supporting us and helping to make it happen, and to Bird & Blend Tea Co. B Corp for generously donating the tea. 👏 Want to get involved in our upcoming events? We have events happening in Birmingham, Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield and Cardiff going on this month!
