Some Alternative Ways to Make Every Month B Corp Month

Written by Marketing

Many of us don’t know where to start in our efforts to make a difference. We can begin by educating ourselves and questioning the choices we make every day, from what clothes, food or services we buy, as well as which companies we support.

By supporting businesses that prioritise the well-being of our planet and its people, we can make sure that our consumer habits are not only ethically sound, but also contribute to a more sustainable future.

In support of B Corp Month, why not start using the B Corp directory to help find some ethical alternatives to help you to go above and beyond for all people and the planet, while supporting B Corps from across the globe who are putting the planet first at the same time.

1.    Nourish your skin, nourish the planet

The next time your bottle of moisturiser runs out, or you need a new cleanser, scrub, or even shampoo and conditioner, visit the B Corp Directory and search ‘beauty’ or ‘skincare’ for all things that are not only good for you, but better for the planet too.

2.    Swap everyday essentials for those that don’t leave a footprint

Items we use on the daily have a great potential to negatively impact the planet. But that also means there is huge potential for us to swap out the essentials for better options that reduce our environmental impact. So, what are some of the things you use every day, and what alternatives are there?

Use the B Corp directory to search products such as ‘toilet paper’, ‘toothbrush’, or even just ‘household essentials’.

3.    Pour yourself a better brew

For most of us a morning brew is a non-negotiable way to start the day. But there are often many environmental impacts of that regular cup of coffee. Search ‘tea’ or ‘coffee’ in the B Corp directory to find some B Corp business alternatives to help you pour yourself a better brew.

4.    Cook up a storm, but with zero waste

There are a vast range of food and drink companies within the B Corp community that are doing amazing things with their businesses to reduce food waste. And once you know who they are, you can keep an eye out during your weekly grocery shop or meal preparation.

5.    Ethical fashion 

The impact of fast fashion on the planet is devastating and far-reaching, with millions of tonnes of clothes being thrown into landfill annually.

For fashion-forward B Corps, ensuring each material has been carefully chosen for its unique properties and low environmental impact is paramount.

There are a growing number of B Corps changing the fashion game. Search for ‘clothing’ or ‘fashion’ in the B Corp Directory to support the B Corps doing good to reduce textile waste and the impact of fast fashion on the environment this B Corp month and beyond.

We have an incredible opportunity to make a positive difference in the world through consumerism. By being conscious of our impact on the planet and its people, and by making ethical choices when it comes to spending our money, we can help create a more sustainable future.
