Multi-channel retailer Wolf & Badger claims to have become the first and only online marketplace in the UK to become certified as a B Corporation.
Companies that are B Corporation certified are for-profit companies that meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

Wolf & Badger has been certified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, as having met rigorous social and environmental standards which represent its commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit.
The retailer has a community of more than 1,000 designers on its platform, spanning womenswear, menswear, beauty, grooming, homeware, jewellery, and accessories. All of these designers are united behind common goals and a clear responsibility to remain open and authentic to ensure changes are made within the retail industry sector, the company says.
Wolf & Badger, which operates through its online retail destination as well as its flagship stores in London and New York, is now part of a community of more than 3,800 businesses globally who have certified as B Corps. The B Corp community in the UK comprises over 450 companies.
“The B Corp certification reflects our wider commitment to help promote a sustainable future for retail and to provide a fair and more conscious alternative for both customers and brands alike,” says George Graham, CEO and co-founder of Wolf & Badger.
Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK, adds: “We are delighted to welcome Wolf & Badger to the B Corp community. This is a movement of companies who are committed to changing how business operates, who believe business really can be a force for good. We know that Wolf & Badger are going to be a fantastic addition to the community and will continue driving the conversation forward”.
