Thrive awarded B Corp’s ‘Best For the World’ status for second year running
We’re excited to share that we’ve been named a 2022 Best for the World™ B Corp™ for our positive impact on the environment.
It’s the second year in a row that we’ve been recognised, a distinction granted by B Lab to global B Corps whose verified impact scores rank in the top 5% of their size. That means out of 5,000 B Corps, our commitment to the environment puts us in the top 250 around the world!
Protecting the planet has always been a driving force for Thrive. Since 1994, we’ve been working to establish a clean energy system in the UK, helping to reduce dangerous carbon emissions and ultimately tackling climate change. During that time, we’ve funded and built 32 clean energy projects across the UK, generated over 2 million MWh of clean electricity and avoided the emission of 911,828 tonnes of CO2e.
In 2021, our wind, solar and hydro projects produced over 110,000 MWh of renewable electricity, enough to power over 30,000 UK homes or 28% of all UK EV journeys and delivered 49,515 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emissions reductions. Recognising that there’s always more that we can do to reduce our own carbon footprint, we also committed to reaching net zero by 2030 as part of B Corp’s Climate Collective.
Every year, ‘Best for the World’ recognises the top-performing B Corps creating the greatest positive impact through their business. The full list of B Corps awarded ‘Best for the World’ across the impact pillars of community, customers, environment, governance, and workers are available here.
