Britain needs business at its best

1900+ companies have chosen to be part of the coalition for a cleaner, greener, fairer future for all.

As the cost of living crisis unfolds, the UK’s businesses will experience it in different ways but all face urgent decisions about how to respond. The Better Business Act and B Lab UK have produced a short guide showcasing some amazing examples of businesses taking innovative approaches to support workers and communities.

The Power of Business explores how your company can support people and the planet in the cost of living crisis. Not all companies are able to help right now – for some, it’s simply a matter of survival. This guide is for those that can.

We know this small change in the law can make a big change in the world. That’s why we’re urging you to call on the UK Government to make this change and help create a fairer, greener future for everybody.
