Celebrating B Corp Month 2025

B Corp Month is an annual, global campaign. Every year during March, the global B Corp community join together to celebrate everything it means to be a B Corp.

What is B Corp Month? 

March marks B-Corp Month – a month to highlight the way B Corps all around the world are going beyond business to be a force for good. 

B Corp Month celebrates the significant impact the movement is having worldwide. There are now 9,500 Certified B Corporations globally, spanning 102 countries and 160 industries and collectively employing over 930,000 workers. 

What does it mean to be a B Corp? 

One of the most comprehensive designations for purpose-led businesses, B Corp identifies organisations that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. 

For us, being a B Corp is not just about the recognition; it’s about aligning our everyday business practices with a vision for a better, more equitable world. From reducing our environmental footprint to supporting communities, we continuously strive to create positive impact with every decision we make with our clients in mind. 

B Corp Month 2025: The rise of ‘Gen B’

The theme for B Corp Month 2025 is #GenB – showcasing a new wave of businesses and thought leaders driving positive change. Throughout March, B Corps across the globe will host in-person events, engage employees, activate in their communities, and create new connections to raise awareness for this leading cohort of companies that prioritise purpose alongside profit. It aims to inspire more businesses to act with transparency and accountability.

Why B Corps matter 

With awareness of B Corp growing steadily, now is the time to continue advocating for collective action. In the UK, 38% of the public recognises the B Corp logo — the highest awareness globally.  

As consumers’ awareness increases and they use their spending power to support ethical companies, the aim is that more businesses will recognise the benefits of working towards an inclusive, fair and regenerative economy for all people, and the planet. 

Join us on the journey

At EQ Investors, we believe that every decision we make has the power to drive positive change. How we work today can shape tomorrow’s future – for people, for communities, and for the planet.

Over the past decade, we’ve made great strides, but there’s still so much more we can achieve. By collaborating with like-minded professionals, we can act for change and demand a better, more sustainable future.

If you are looking to make a difference in the world and set your business apart, find out more about becoming a B Corp.
