Before building your Climate Action Plan, it’s critical to understand the updated B Corp standards. Every SME must state their commitment to supporting the global ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C, with clear targets, allocated resources, stakeholder engagement, and transparent progress tracking.
Ensure this is reflected in your environmental policy.
These should be grounded in robust carbon footprinting.
Build collective buy‑in and shared responsibility.
Put systems in place to monitor, review and report consistently over time.

Many small and medium-sized businesses hit the same roadblocks when it comes to building Climate Action Plans - but you don’t need to be a climate expert to overcome these. You just need someone in your corner who is.
The new standards bring a range of terms and criteria that can feel like learning a new language.
B Lab’s Climate Action guidance is 100+ pages - knowing which sections matter most can feel impossible
Many businesses don’t know where to start. Our system and bespoke tools enable bottom-up, practical target-setting aligned with real-world operations.
To build a credible plan, you need to know your carbon footprint inside out, including understanding Scope 1, 2 and 3.
Gathering all the data, making sense of it, and knowing whether you've got the things right can be genuinely tricky.
Between client work, team management, and everything else on your plate, finding time to tackle a Climate Action Plan feels impossible when you're already stretched.

We guide you through three straightforward steps to develop your Climate Action Plan and meet the B Corp certification requirements with confidence.
A Climate Action Plan is now mandatory for certification if you are a small or medium-sized business. Larger businesses need to produce a Climate Transition Plan (we can help with those too!). Over the past decade, B Corps received a median of £1.5m in growth funding from external investors. That’s 18% more than other UK businesses. Having your climate credentials isn't just about certification; it's about staying competitive.
Environmental responsibility drives long-term business performance. Beyond meeting B Corp standards, there are compelling commercial reasons to get started.
Businesses reporting ESG metrics see a 32% increase in customer loyalty, while clients and investors increasingly expect credible climate action (British Chamber of Commerce, 2023).
UK SMEs implementing carbon strategies see 25-30% efficiency gains (Profit Impact). Carbon reduction cuts costs through better energy use, less waste, and smarter operations - what helps the planet helps your bottom line.
68% of job candidates prefer environmentally sustainable companies (IBM 2022). A clear climate plan helps you attract and retain brilliant people who are seeking not just a job, but meaningful work.
Businesses investing in carbon reduction are 25% more resilient to energy shocks (Oxford 2023). Acting now means you're ready for stricter regulations, client requirements, and tender processes.
