B Corp Month 2026
Reuse. Repair. Rethink.
Date: 25.02.2026
A Simple Symbol, A Powerful Signal.
What is B Corp Month?
Is an annual, global campaign held every March. Led by B Lab and powered by the global B Corp community, it is a moment to celebrate what it means to be a B Corp and recognise businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
At Surface Matter our vision is simple: Change Shouldn’t Mean Waste and what we have remains Valuable Forever. This is a pivotal moment for the design community. By challenging how materials are specified, used and recycled, we can help build a circular economy that proves purpose and profit don’t just coexist, they go hand in hand.
From Reuse and Repair to Rethinking material value, our material sessions during the month take a deep dive into how architects and designers drive real change across the industry. These sessions also raise awareness to the B Corp movement and deepening understanding of its powerful impact, as we share authentically about our social and environmental initiatives.
These sessions are about coming together, sparking meaningful conversations, connecting with fellow B Corps and championing each other.
With awareness of B Corp growing steadily, each year the community goes above and beyond to amplify the campaign and showcase the power of collaboration. Over the past two years, more than 70% of the UK B Corp community has taken part.
With 10,300 B Corps in the world the opportunity to collaborate and create impact is greater than ever.
Recent campaign highlights include:
- The B Corp Shop
- The B Corp Bar
- The Travelling Big B
- Systems change and skills-sharing workshops
- A parliamentary reception in Edinburgh
- A homepage takeover with The Guardian
B Corp Month is more than a celebration — Earning this B is just the beginning for all the good we will do.
'Behind this simple symbol lives a bigger story - a story that connects us to thousands of other businesses around the world. And we’re so excited to share ours"
Every B Corp is different, but we have a common goal.
Come connect, share ideas, be inspired, collaborate and enjoy delightful snacks and refreshments while building positive connections.
