What does 'B Corp' mean?

  • Updated

The B Corporation movement was founded with a mission to use business as a force for good. 

Joining B Corps, a collective of businesses with this aim, is a rigorous, comprehensive process to undertake in order to be consistently held under close scrutiny by B Lab.

To gain certification, a business must meet very high standards of social and environmental impact and score 80 points out of a possible 100. 

We recertified in 2025 with an impact score of 106.5 – a 24.8% increase on our first certification and well above the B Corp benchmark..

Since 2012, our business model has been to pay growers properly, trade ethically, and bring exceptional coffee to homes, businesses, and grocery shelves around the UK. 

This recertification shows what measurable impact this approach can achieve - and how we can grow and continue to do this on a larger scale with every bean sold.

So we want to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who chooses to brew and stock Pact coffee.
