House Collective Officially Announces B Corporation Status
We have some exciting news to share: we are now a B Corp! B Corp (short for B Corporation) is the world’s leading accreditation for businesses that demonstrate a commitment to superior social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Becoming a B Corp benefits everyone, including our team, clients, local communities, suppliers, and beyond.
We’ve been committed to making a positive impact beyond profit since we founded House Collective. Our journey towards becoming a B Corp began in January 2022. With only about 0.05% of applicants worldwide receiving certification—roughly one in every 83,000—we are thrilled to announce that, after 18 months of hard work, we have successfully achieved this prestigious status.
Jonathan Brandling-Harris Comment:
“We are thrilled that all our hard work has paid off and we've received this incredible external recognition of our commitment to being a better business. Becoming a B Corporation is increasingly vital in the age of social media, where transparency and accountability are more critical than ever. B Corps, certified for meeting rigorous social and environmental performance standards, offer credible assurance that a company prioritizes more than just its profits. Additionally, the visibility and scrutiny on social media mean that companies must consistently demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and social good, or risk damaging their reputations."
Our initial step toward achieving B Corp status involved launching an internal B Team. This team, composed of key members, was dedicated to navigating the rigorous application requirements and implementing essential strategic decisions and policies for House Collective.
We partnered with sustainability expert Micael Johnstone and together, we ensured that everything we do is as sustainable as possible.

House Collective stands out in its sector by doing business with integrity and making a positive impact in the world.”
