At Cawston Press, we’re all about supporting the good apples – the companies that not only offer excellent products but also give a hoot about our planet and communities. One of the ways we can do this is by championing B Corp businesses. What’s a B Corp, you ask? Well, it’s a company that’s been certified by the non-profit B Lab, meaning they meet the highest standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. In other words, they’re the kind of businesses we can all feel good about supporting.
Here’s a list of some of our favourite B Corp-certified brands that are making the world a better (and more delightful) place, one sustainable product at a time.
1. Bio-D
You know how some cleaning products can smell like they’ve come straight out of a science lab? Not Bio-D. This British brand is as eco-friendly as it gets, offering cleaning products that are tough on dirt but gentle on the planet. From washing-up liquid to laundry detergent, their range is made from plant-based ingredients, meaning you won’t need to worry about harsh chemicals in your home. And as if that wasn’t enough, Bio-D’s packaging is recyclable, and they’re all about minimising waste. A clean house and a cleaner conscience? Yes, please! and to top it off, they have a Yorkshire Rhubarb scented range - dreams do come true.
2. Ohh Deer
If you love quirky, creative, and downright fun products, then Ohh Deer is a must-know.

It’s the perfect marriage of design, sustainability, and a little dash of British humour. After all, who said sustainability can’t be stylish?
3. Pip & Nut
Let’s face it: nut butter makes everything better. And no one does it quite like Pip & Nut.
