In this issue we spotlight the Better Business Act – a campaign with a mission to change the law so that all companies take ownership of their social and environmental impact.
“We launched the Better Business Act campaign to call on every single business to help address the huge, systemic challenges we face in these times of environmental and social crisis,” says Turner. “And in order to do that, we need to fundamentally redefine the role of business in our society.”
Launched in 2021 by
B Lab UK – a non-profit organisation transforming the economy and facilitating the growth of the B Corp movement in the UK –
the Better Business Act campaign seeks to not only enshrine in law the principle that all companies take ownership of their social and environmental impact, but to create a discussion about the role of business in society.
Turner explains: “We want to be at the centre of that conversation. What is business really for – is it there to serve us all? Business should provide good jobs and help us create a world that's fit for future generations."
