Key Takeaways

  • B Corp offices are certified workspaces that prioritize environmental and social standards.
  • Choosing a B Corp office reflects a company's commitment to sustainability and community.
  • B Corp certification requires businesses to meet high standards and recertify every three years.
A B Corp office is a workspace operated by a provider that meets certified environmental and social standards. This guide explains what that certification means, which office providers hold it and how teams can find sustainable workspaces in the UK.

If you’re a purpose-driven business, your values don’t stop at your brand mission - they shape how you operate day to day, including where your team shows up to work.

That’s where B Corp offices come in.

These spaces are designed for companies who care about people and the planet as much as profit.

Choosing a B Corp-certified workspace sends a clear message to your team, your clients, and your community: you walk the talk.

What does it mean when a company is B Corp?

B Corp (short for Benefit Corporation) is a certification given by the nonprofit B Lab to businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

To become a B Corp, companies must complete the B Impact Assessment, earning at least 80 points across five key areas:
  • People: Fair pay, employee wellbeing, inclusive practices
  • Planet: Sustainable practices, emissions reduction, responsible sourcing
  • Community: Positive contributions to society, ethical suppliers
  • Governance: Transparent leadership, ethics, and accountability
  • Customers: Delivering impact through their products and services
Certified B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

It’s not a one-and-done badge either — companies must recertify every three years and submit annual impact reports.

Why work from a B Corp office?

If your business is a B Corp — or on the path to becoming one — your workspace should reflect your values.

Choosing a B Corp office means:
  • You’re reducing your environmental footprint with buildings designed for sustainability
  • You’re joining a like-minded community of values-led businesses
  • You can earn B Corp points for working in a certified space
  • You’re creating a positive environment for your team that supports wellbeing, flexibility, and purpose

B Corp office providers making an impact

Here are five B Corp-certified workspace providers making a real difference — and offering some of the best office environments in the UK.
X+Why B Corp

X+Why

X+Why designs flexible workspace for purpose-driven businesses.

They’re B Corp-certified, but they go further by actively encouraging their members to pursue certification too.

Through their Mission Lit Programme, they offer support and recognition for tenants striving to be more responsible.

Their buildings are designed with sustainability in mind — think recycled materials, energy efficiency, and even living roofs.

You’ll also earn B Corp points just for working from their offices, like People’s Mission Hall in Aldgate or The Fulwood in Chancery Lane, which both contribute 5–7 points to your impact score.
Runway East B Corp

Runway East

Runway East became a B Corp in July 2022 with a solid B Impact score of 97.5.

They’re doing a lot behind the scenes to walk the walk, including:

  • 100% renewable electricity across all sites
  • Smart sensors to reduce unnecessary energy usage
  • Composting food waste
  • Non-toxic cleaning products
  • Zero tolerance for single-use plastics
  • Bike-friendly infrastructure
They’re also reviewing their full carbon footprint, including their supply chain, to better understand where they can go further.
Breakout lounge at B Corp office space provider Work Life

Work.Life

Certified in January 2022, Work.Life is focused on improving work for everyone — members and employees alike.

They’ve invested heavily in:

  • 88% renewable energy across their spaces
  • A smarter waste system
  • Dedicated budgets to improve team joy and wellbeing
  • Internal policies that support equity, inclusion, and happiness
They’ve also found that 91% of members feel happier since joining.

Locations like Work.Life Holborn and Work.Life Bermondsey are perfect examples of how sustainable can also be stylish.
Kitchen and snack bar at B Corp office space provider Uncommon Borough

Uncommon

Uncommon joined the B Corp community in April 2023, with an impressive B Impact score of 98.2.

They’re carbon neutral already and have their sights set on being net zero by 2027.

What sets them apart is their focus on ethical supply chains.

By 2025, every supplier must align with their detailed code of conduct, covering both sustainability and workplace diversity.

Their spaces are thoughtfully designed for wellness, with biophilic features and calming layouts.

Uncommon Borough is a standout with its warm atmosphere and brilliant snack bar.

Our favourite B Corp office spaces to inspire your team

In addition to the five certified providers above, here are more offices that align with B Corp values and are loved by mission-led teams.

1. X+Why Bloomsbury

X+Why Bloomsbury was built with mission-led companies in mind.

Everything from the furniture to the flooring is designed to minimise environmental impact.

They’re serious about making impact mainstream — and they’ve got the BREEAM 'Excellent' rating to prove it.

2. Runway East Shoreditch

Runway East Shoreditch is one of the most popular B Corp office options in East London — and for good reason.

They’re committed to running greener, smarter spaces.

Expect 100% renewable energy, food waste composting, and smart systems to minimise energy use.

They're also big on community, with great events, perks, and shared spaces built for collaboration.

They scored 97.5 on the B Impact Assessment and are currently reviewing their full carbon footprint, including their supply chain.

Progress, not perfection.

3. Work.Life Borough

Work.Life Borough is part of a wider network of people-first spaces — and they’ve been a certified B Corp since 2022.

They’re investing in sustainability across every site, with 88% renewable energy, improved waste systems, and wellbeing initiatives that go beyond bean bags and bike racks.

Think budgets dedicated to “team joy” and KPIs linked to internal happiness.

4. Huckletree Liverpool Street

Huckletree Liverpool Street champions innovation with a conscience.

This space is part of Huckletree’s commitment to supporting the next generation of impact-led businesses.

They’re not just about coworking; they’re about building ecosystems.

Huckletree works with startups, scaleups, and purpose-led brands through accelerator programmes and curated communities.

Located in the heart of the City, this workspace brings sustainability, creativity, and ambition together in one seriously cool location.

5. Rivvia Covent Garden

Rivvia Covent Garden blends historic charm with contemporary impact.

While Rivvia isn’t B Corp-certified themselves, they partner with organisations and suppliers who share a strong commitment to sustainability.

If you're after a beautifully designed space with natural light, plants, and a community vibe, Rivvia is a great option for B Corp-minded businesses looking to make a conscious choice.

6. Uncommon Holborn

Uncommon Holborn is known for its biophilic design, natural materials, and calm aesthetic — but they’re more than good looks.

And if you ever want to get away from your desk (but why would you?), there are some stunning parks to wander around to unwind.

Who could want more?

7. Space Made Beton

Space Made Beton offers a modern, minimalist workspace just a short walk from Barbican.

As a Space Made location, it shares the brand’s sustainability-first ethos and emphasis on community.

From the office interiors to their membership perks, everything is carefully designed to support both people and the planet.

Beton is ideal for small teams or scaleups who want a central London location without compromising on values.

What to consider when choosing a B Corp office

When you're comparing B Corp office spaces, think about:

  • Location: Is it convenient for your team and clients?
  • Sustainability features: Look for renewable energy, waste systems, smart tech
  • Community fit: Are the other tenants mission-led? Are there events or support programmes?
  • Scalability: Can you grow your team here over time?
  • Certifications: Are they B Corp themselves, or are they aligned and supportive of the movement?

Ready to move into your B Corp office?

The demand for ethical, purpose-led workspaces is only growing — and the options are better than ever.
