UK energy consultancy joins the growing movement of companies using business as a force for good
Perth, Scotland, 09/01/2026 — Here’s The Plan has today announced its certification as a B Corporation (or B Corp), joining a growing movement of companies that are reinventing business for the benefit of all people and our shared planet. Verified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, the achievement demonstrates that Here’s The Plan meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability alongside a commitment to goals beyond shareholder value.
The news comes as the ongoing climate crisis and widening social inequality continue to pose urgent challenges to our economy. B Corp Certification assesses the entirety of a business’ operations and covers impact areas related to practices around governance, workers, community, the environment and customers. The certification process is rigorous, with companies required to provide evidence on performance while legally embedding their commitment to purpose as well as profit in their company articles.
Here’s The Plan is now part of a growing community of over 10,000 businesses globally that have certified as B Corps. The B Corp community in the UK is the largest and fastest-growing in the world, with over 2,600 companies spanning a range of different industries and sizes. Names include The Guardian, Innocent Drinks, Patagonia, Tony’s Chocolonely, The Big Issue, Finisterre, Elemis, and Sipsmith Gin.
Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK, says:
“We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes as part of our community — from startups to multinationals and across many different industries. Business is a powerful force and B Corps demonstrate that positive impact is possible in any sector. Welcoming Here’s The Plan is an exciting moment for the energy industry. B Lab UK and the rest of the B Corp community are really pleased that Here’s The Plan is paving the way for a new way of doing things.”
Sam Grace, Co-Managing Director of Here’s The Plan, says:
We are delighted to receive our B Corp certification. The process has been a large collaboration by the team to ensure we are really living the principles B Corp represents. To be recognised for these efforts, alongside so many fantastic organisations is something we are really proud of and we look forward to embedding ourselves within the B Corp community in the months to come.”
