New B Corps with something to sell.
24 companies on Honch's list certified as B Corps in late summer 2026. Most are small: a restaurant, a farm, a three-person installer. This brief picks out the eight with the size, the growth and the buying power to be worth a sales call, and says how to approach each one.
B Corp is changing. On 2 September B Lab UK named the first 18 UK companies certified under its new standards, including Mulberry, Huel and Pip & Nut. The new rules drop the single 80-point score in favour of minimum requirements across seven impact topics, checked by third-party auditors. Almost everyone on this list still carries a points score, which means they submitted under the old rules before the deadline at the end of 2025 and have only now come through verification.
The interesting companies here are not the ones with the highest scores. They are mid-sized firms that sell through tenders, frameworks and professional referrals, where social value is scored and ESG questions are now common on supplier forms. For an accountant, a facilities supplier or a Microsoft partner, B Corp is a sales tool. Most of them pair it with something else: an acquisition, a new region, a merger or new funding.
What’s inside.
Software and services
Firms that sell to businesses which now ask about ESG at the shortlist stage. For them the badge is a sales asset, and all three are in growth mode.
