March is B Corp Month: an annual, global campaign and celebration of everything it means to be a B Corp. For us, this is a pledge to levelling up. To doing our bit to reduce inequality, build community, protect our planet, and move in the direction of better, bolder, brighter things. We're so proud to be part of a growing global movement that uses business as a force for good, with over 8,000 other companies by our side, leading the way.
Our B Corp journey started in 2020, but we’ve been working to become a #betterbusiness since the very start of BOL, eight years ago. And the hard work continues.To kickstart the month, we thought we’d share a few of our favourite BOL initiatives from the last year:
- Investing in the wellbeing of Team BOL through MHFA England, and getting our very own in-house mental health first aider qualifications.
- Continuing our partnership with The Felix Project, supporting over 500 communities with our surplus stock.
- Relaunching our range of Power Soups with a 35% reduction in plastic per pot.
- Sponsoring Friend of BOL, Simon Dent’s 2023 Marathon Des Sables challenge in aid of Greenhouse Sports and Dallaglio RugbyWorks. And recently announcing our sponsorship of his latest charity venture: The Dragons Back Race.
- And the big one, surpassing 80 million lifetime portions of veg.
We know we can always be better, and we’re committed to trying. Come along for the ride?
Happy B Corp Month - lot’s more on this to come.
