B Corporation
Our current system is broken.
By placing shareholder profits above all else, businesses have harmed our societies and our planet.
Our most challenging global problems cannot be solved by governments and non-profits alone. By harnessing the power of their business, B Corps commit to positively impact all stakeholders – workers, communities, customers, and our planet.
Becoming a B Corp is more than a certification; it is a commitment to a new way of doing business. Join the B Corp movement of businesses building an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.

Testimonial
“We worked with Holly as a consultant to help us with our B Corp Assessment. Being someone who is very prominent in sustainability across the advertising and production sector we felt she was perfectly placed to hold our hands through the process.
Her working practise is very thorough, she was really easy to get on with and we quickly developed an efficient and productive working process. Her in-depth knowledge and passion for purpose-led businesses was invaluable, and alongside an appreciation of the challenges that businesses of our size face, she was a perfect fit. I would highly recommend Planet A to anybody else wanting to pursue this journey.”

Hannah, Founder of The New Craft House, a sewing workshop studio and designer deadstock fabric shop:
“Holly was such a brilliant help in working through our B Corp accreditation. She broke everything down into manageable steps, has a great system for organising tasks and evidence, and pointed us in the direction of loads of helpful resources.
The accreditation felt quite intimidating for a small business like ours, but Holly made it really manageable. She was invaluable - we couldn't have done it without her. ”
