It all started with a book about Patagonia being read on a deck chair. Back in May 2022, we had no idea that holiday reading would kickstart our two-year journey to B Corp certification.

Fast forward to today, and we're absolutely delighted to announce that Few and Far has achieved one of the UK's highest B Corp scores (118.9). But what does that actually mean for the brilliant charities we work with?

More than just another badge for the wall

Let's be honest – we know that choosing a digital partner is tough for charities. Every penny spent needs to count, and every decision needs to stack up against your values and mission.

That's exactly why we spent two years going through the rigorous B Corp certification process. It wasn't just about ticking boxes; it was about proving to our charity partners that we're as committed to making a difference as they are.

Every penny of your budget matters

Working with a B Corp means working with an organisation that's legally committed to considering the impact of every business decision. For charities, this translates into real, practical benefits:

Crystal clear pricing with no hidden costs – we know how precious charity budgets are
Payment terms that work around your funding cycles
Free digital skills training and mentorship to help your team flourish
Regular impact reports showing what you're getting for your investment
Lower costs thanks to our clever, flexible working practices

It takes time to find a new partner

We know charities spend ages vetting potential partners. Our B Corp certification means we've already proven ourselves when it comes to:

Fair and ethical business practices
Environmental responsibility
Looking after our team and paying fairly
Making a difference in our community
Being totally transparent in how we work
Using ethical suppliers

This means less time on with due diligence and more time focusing on your mission. Plus, when you're reporting to trustees or funders, our B Corp status helps show you're choosing partners who share your values.

Supporting what matters

When you're working to make the world better, you need partners who are on the same page. As a B Corp, we're not just committed to but also legally required to:

Think about how our decisions affect everyone, not just the bottom line
Keep up high standards for social and environmental impact
Be honest about what's working and what isn't
Keep getting better at what we do
Be transparent about our impact

This means you can trust we're not just talking the talk – we're bound to walk the walk too.

What does this support look like in practice?

Our commitment to the charity sector isn't just hot air:

Our Impact Optimiser programme gives you a free website review to boost your digital presence
We run regular workshops to share our digital know-how with charity teams
Our flexible working means you can get hold of us when you need us
We give 1% of our revenue to environmental causes, supporting the wider charitable sector
Our team gets paid time off to volunteer, often with our charity partners

As Claire from Solving Kids' Cancer UK puts it: "Few and Far share our core values, which is very important. Their collaborative approach, along with their understanding of our needs and mission, makes them an invaluable partner to us." (Cheers Claire – you're making us blush!)

Looking ahead

Every three years, we have to prove ourselves again for our B Corp certification. This means we're always finding new ways to support our charity partners better. When you work with us, you're not just getting a supplier – you're getting a partner who's genuinely invested in helping you succeed.

Whether you're looking for a digital partner or just curious about how B Corps can support the charity sector, we'd love to have a natter.

We're always up for sharing what we've learned along the way, and our free Impact Optimiser review is available to any charity wanting to boost their digital impact.

Pop the kettle on and drop us a line – we'd love to hear from you.
