The Pollinators exists to help purpose led businesses grow in ways that create social and environmental impact. We guide businesses on their journey to B Corp certification with clarity, curiosity, and care, and support them to embed meaningful, long term change, not just achieve a badge.
Drawing on systems thinking and the power of collaboration, we connect strategy, culture, and impact so businesses can thrive as part of a regenerative economy.
Like pollinators in nature, we share knowledge, spark ideas, and nurture connections that help good business spread.
At The Pollinators, we believe business can be a powerful force for good. Everything we do is rooted in the understanding that people, planet, and profit are interconnected — and that the most successful organisations are those that operate in harmony with the living systems around them.
In addition to being members of the Organisation for Responsible Businesses, we’re a proud B Corp, a partner of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, signatory and advocate of the Better Business Act campaign and a member of Business Declares.
Our Social Impact
Our social impact comes principally through our work with clients. We support companies to identify and address the ways they can contribute to a fairer society — from how they treat their people to how they influence their supply chain and serve their communities. We help them to embed purpose into decision-making across the business.
The Pollinators works pro bono with underrepresented founders through a partnership with B Lab UK as making B Corp accessible is important to us.
The Pollinators advocate for responsible business and regularly speak to a wide range of business and academic audiences on the subject. Collaboration is important too, and we are involved with a number of different organisations and initiatives that seek to do the same. This commitment to cross-pollination ensures that even those we don’t directly work with can access tools, ideas, and examples to accelerate their own positive impact.
Our Environmental Impact
As a virtual business using barely any resources, our environmental impact is tiny.
We have a travel policy that prioritises using public transport, with a limit on how far we will travel to visit our clients. We use green web hosting for our website as we recognise that our digital footprint is a significant contributor to our emissions. We have undertaken to produce a climate action plan as part of our B Corp and Business Declares commitments.
Through the B Corp framework, we help clients integrate environmental stewardship into their core strategy — addressing climate risk, reducing emissions, improving resource efficiency, and protecting biodiversity. Many of our clients go beyond compliance, adopting regenerative practices that actively restore ecosystems and support nature’s resilience.
Our Broader Commitment
We see ourselves as part of a global movement to redefine the role of business in society. As members of the B Corp community, we actively contribute to collective campaigns, knowledge-sharing, and advocacy for better business standards worldwide.
By supporting leaders and teams to think systemically, act courageously, and connect meaningfully, we help build a future where all businesses operate as part of a thriving, equitable, and regenerative world.
