Lem-uhn is a B Corp certified PR Agency. Since launching in 2021, we have been operating to the highest standards of ethical business. In 2025, we were proud to be officially certified as a B Corp. Whether you’ve never heard of a B Corp or are an expert, this article will be a guide to B Corps and how we achieved the accolade.
What is a B Corp?
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. By harnessing the power of business, B Corps commit to prioritise purpose alongside profit and positively impact all stakeholders – workers, communities, customers, and our planet.
B Corps commit to rigorous standards that measure their social and environmental footprint. This certification is not just about good intentions, it’s about verified action and results.
Out of the 5.5 million companies in the UK, only 2300 are B Corps, and only a select few PR agencies have received the accreditation.
B Corp Requirements
To achieve B Corp certification, a company must:
Meet a high standard of social and environmental performance: Businesses undergo a rigorous assessment covering governance, worker rights, community impact, and environmental responsibility.
Be legally accountable: B Corps must legally commit to considering the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
Exhibit transparency: Companies must publish an annual impact report detailing their progress and performance in achieving their sustainability and social goals.
Score at least 80 out of 200 on the B Impact Assessment: This detailed evaluation measures the company’s impact on workers, customers, the community, and the environment.
