B Corp Month 2025 - Shopping Guide

Looking out for the B-Corp logo on brand websites is one of the easiest ways to choose to shop with brands which are actively taking steps to be more sustainable.

Anyone showing the 'Certified B-Corp' logo has been 'verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability', which means that experts on this stuff have assessed the companies activities, and only those above a certain threshold get to display the mark. It is a sliding scale though, so even those with the mark, may still have work to do, but they have to keep it up to keep the mark, and it's not an easy process, so you know they're serious about sustainability if they have it.

The directory interface could be a bit more user friendly, I think, but you can find the full list of B Corps HERE.

To get you started, here are some of my favourites, that I regularly use, and some I'm familiar with but haven't bought from yet:

Cleaning

Bower Collective - We use their refillable washing up liquid, toilet cleaner, handwash and limescale remover, with lots more on offer.

Neat - Love their concentrated refills of the best smelling multi-surface spray, foaming handwash, bathroom spray and foaming toilet cleaner.

Smol - We use their washing up liquid, laundry capsules, fabric conditioner, stain remover and dishwasher tablets,

Seep - The best longest lasting plastic free sponge scourers and rubber gloves I've found.

The Cheeky Panda - We use their plastic free bamboo toilet roll and tissues.

Household

Brabantia - Always a great blend of form and function. Our rotary washing line is worth every penny.

Plank Hardware - Our simple and beautiful satin brass kitchen tap is from Plank and their cabinet handwear is just dreamy.

Dock & Bay - Love my D&B space saving towel for holidays.

World of Books - books are homewares, right? This is our first stop for second hand, and new books, and nearly always has what we want. Choose how well used you want your used books and pay accordingly.

Pets

Applaws - Fussy Pablo cat is a fan of their fish in broth selection, and I like to be able to wash up and recycle the little tins.

Lilys Kitchen - Rocky cat loved their senior wet cat food and biscuits, until of course he didn't, but he probably will again. Cats!

Scrumbles - Many a foster cat when mad for this stuff, and ours loved the salmon biscuits...until of course they didn't!

Clothing

Allbirds - My go to trainers, light and super comfortable.

The emptiness of this section says a LOT about affordable sustainable clothing! There's several luxury brands with the mark, as well as a few resale and hire sites, but no UK high-street brands.
