In its 4th year, B Corp Fest is the ultimate unique gathering in Lancashire for purpose-driven businesses, conscious consumers, sustainability advocates and changemakers to celebrate and explore the power of conscious business. This event aligns with World Environment Day and offers a dynamic platform for businesses to connect, collaborate, and showcase their commitment to making a difference.

If you’re passionate about sustainability, business as a force for good, and making an impact in your community, this is the event for you. So 4 years in, what’s on the agenda for 2025? 10 big elements ….

1. B Inspired B CORP FEST HEADLINE SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT! We are beyond thrilled to announce that the incredible PATRICK GRANT will be headlining B Corp Fest: Business As A Power For Good. Patrick is a true pioneer in sustainability, challenging the way we think about fashion, consumption, and the impact of our choices. As the founder of Community Clothing, he has championed UK textile manufacturing, proving that ethical, local, and circular fashion is not just possible, but essential. His latest book, LESS, became an instant Sunday Times bestseller, urging us all to rethink how we buy, wear, and value clothing. You may also recognise him as the sharp-witted judge on The Great British Sewing Bee, but his impact goes far beyond TV - he’s a leading voice in the fight for a more sustainable future. With Patrick’s bold insights and inspiring vision, this year’s event promises to be game-changing.
2. B Strategising B Lab UK will send representatives from London just to attend B Corp Fest. B Corp is on a mission to make ALL businesses forces for good and they will share what this means for YOU. They will explain about the growth of the B Corp movement, the new standards and you will get the opportunity for 1:1 discussions.
3. B Insightful Andy MacNae, MP will provide an update on how B Corp and sustainability fit into the Government’s agenda and where are we up to with the Better Business Act?
4. B Aware Four years ago local businesses attended Business As A Power For Good for the first time and now they return as B Corp’s. Hear about their journey, what was the Certification process really like and what benefits has being a B Corp given them.
5. B Collaborating B Corp Fest is all about harnessing business as a force for good, growing the B Corp movement in Lancashire and beyond, and celebrating companies that are redefining success. Explore what it means to be a truly conscious business: from fashion to farming, finance to food. Get ready for big ideas, bold conversations, and a powerful movement towards a better way of doing business.
6. B Taking Action We have workshops to take action and inspire you, but also have fun to. From practical ways to achieve Net Zero, storytelling, B Corp advice plus there’s even a climate card game - designed to get you uncomfortable!
7. B Conscious B Corp Fest isn’t run as a big profit-making event. Celia deeply believes in the B Corp movement and the power of conscious business, which is why we created Conscious Day on 13 March as a dedicated international awareness day. Here more about the conscious business movement and how you can be involved.
8. B Supportive We also donate a proportion of any profit from the event to One Woman At A Time, a charity that supports women and girls through education, skills training, and empowerment: helping them break free from cycles of inequality and economic hardship.
9. B Expecting … Thought-provoking talks Workshops to spark your creativity Great food - we won’t give you the normal bland conference food - there will be a fabulous lunch, a cocktail, food to energise and of course cake!
