Happy post-B Corp Month! For us, the celebrations were twofold: March didn’t just mark a global movement; it also marked our first year as a B Corp.
March is a time for education, conversation, and reflection on what it truly means to be sustainable. With both B Corp Month and Positive Luxury’s Butterfly Week taking place, it’s a particularly active and meaningful period for us to engage in, and contribute to, this ongoing journey. Read on to hear about some of the communities and activities we got involved with.
Our first B Corp breakfast
Some of the team were lucky enough to join Marshfield Farm Ice Cream at their B Corp breakfast at the farm. It was a morning of understanding how sustainability is embedded differently across brands and their operations. We saw this in action – from robotic milking systems that give cows the autonomy to be milked on their own schedule, to improving soil health by planting diverse grass species and utilising circular inputs (yes, we’re talking about cow poo!). It was a brilliant reminder that while our supply chains may differ, our goals are aligned. It was a fun mix of brands from TrueStart with Coffee, Jolly Hog with British meat and Tracklements with sauces to name a few.
Some of our favourite things we learnt on our tractor tour!
- Solar panels across farm buildings and investing in infrastructure to turn methane into energy
- Planting trees and growing hedgerows, as well as a fenced-off rewilding area
- 65,000 bees to help pollination across the farm
- Partnering with a logistics company that utilises lorries’ empty legs to collect bale waste
Inspired by the morning, we’d love to host our own B Corp get-together, to educate others on how sustainability fits within the wine industry and share tips over a glass of wine.
Bath Unlimited: Is B Corp the only way to do good?
We joined an engaging discussion topic around the future of B Corp and what it means for businesses. We joined both the discussion and sampling to show how wine can be enjoyed in a format that is striving to be better.
The conversation ranged widely, but two themes stood out.
First, the tension between growth and integrity within the B Corp movement. As more large corporations pursue certification, concerns about impact dilution are becoming harder to ignore. We explored whether the standards can remain truly rigorous at scale, and whether the administrative and financial barriers risk shutting out smaller organisations that are already delivering meaningful impact.
Second, it became clear that stakeholder expectations are reshaping what “good business” looks like. Certification or not, transparency is now essential. Customers and employees expect companies to demonstrate measurable, positive impact, not just talk about it, and this pressure is only increasing. For us, one of the ways we are aiming to do better this year is through is our first impact report, where we can demonstrate measurable impact to stakeholders.
It was encouraging to see the conversation shift from why we should be doing this to how we can do it authentically and effectively. We always think topics like this are important, it challenges narratives and traditions and strives for open and honest improvement. One of these questions is how do existing B Corps expand beyond the bubble? Currently, 51% of the UK public is aware of B Corp certification, and we hope that sharing and discussing it within our network will help increase that number.
Positive Luxury – Brands to Trust
This month, we were delighted to be named one of Positive Luxury’s Brands to Trust, alongside names like Coco de Mer and Arena Flowers. Trust is a business’s most vital asset, and this definition spreads across quality, creativity, accountability and transparency.
We were asked what it means to be recognised as one of these brands among Real Changemakers. For us, it means we can be conversation starters, to stand out within an already saturated market. For CEO Ben, this is what it stands for:
“Wine is a saturated business and to stand out you must have a story to tell that’s authentic. People buy from people and that makes trust essential. People receive content from everywhere on every platform. We can only stand out by being honest, thoughtful and hard-working in connecting our wine drinkers with the layers beyond the liquid. Earning the Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark holds us to account on our principles to do and be better, which adds to our story. We want to be conversation starters, to challenge, to think progressively and to consistently improve, where we can. That can create real engagement from consumers that helps us to build trust and sets us apart from other brands. True sustainable innovation in wine can only happen on authentic foundations where brands care about the environment and people around them, there would be no vines and no people to steward them into wine. Trust is the key to a brand’s longevity. In a world of choice, that’s invaluable.”
Bath Life Awards – Sustainability Winner
In time for B Corp month, we were also thrilled to receive the Sustainability award at the 2026 Bath Life Awards.
As a business deeply embedded in the Bath community, it was a special evening honouring the businesses, community initiatives and charities that make Bath a great place to live. We were hugely inspired by our fellow finalists and felt very honoured to take home the win.
We want our commitment to be measured in results, not just words. By the end of B Corp Month next year, we aim to have achieved the following:
- Host our own B Corp get together
- Write our first impact report
- Have 5 years of verified company carbon footprints spanning 2022-2026
