The challenge lies in tracing both direct emissions from manufacturing and indirect emissions across a vast and complex supply chain. The nature of their operations relies upon high energy usage, chemical reactions and transport; every ripple across the value chain causes a chain reaction. Tracking these emissions is a daunting task – it requires gathering detailed data, ensuring consistency across reporting and navigating gaps in current carbon accounting methodologies. Understanding how they can reduce their environmental impact required a robust baseline analysis. Bostik needed specialists to provide understanding of such complexities.

Renais Spirits, a sustainable gin brand co-founded by Emma and Alex Watson, aimed to achieve B Corp certification while maintaining its focus on eco-friendly production. Using up-cycled grape skins from the family vineyard, Renais needed a strategy that highlighted its sustainability efforts while meeting the rigorous B Corp standards. The challenge was to align their practices with B Corp’s framework and demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement across environmental, social, and governance areas. Through tailored guidance, Renais successfully navigated the certification process, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in the spirits industry.

Navas drinks are a South West tonic water brand who pride themselves in their tasty product and focus on environmental impact through their partnership with The Eden Project. We were introduced through another client and engaged immediately with the Shift B Corp journey. Though a small team, we found a viable pathway to B Corp certification.
- Creative design
When Oscar and Will first started Future Shift, we set up shop in the local co-working space of Future Leap during the Covid-inhibiting year of 2021. It was here that we first met Ed Garrett, founder of Garrett Creative and due to it being a small amount of people not working from home – developed a great relationship. It wasn’t until a couple years later that Ed came to us needing some guidance on their B Corp journey. Having already used 2 B Corp consultants – they were still struggling to get over the B Corp line.

Jessica Smith and Steven Bennett-Day came to us having already completed the assessment internally, however had fallen shy of the B Corp passing score and therefore were looking for some guidance to get over the line. As an impact-driven founder, Steven was extremely conscious that he did not want to do good for the sake of doing good, but rather drive initiatives that would make deep material changes to the business.
- Consulting
We first met Julia, their lead Sustainability Consultant, at a conference given to members of the University of the West of England’s Business and Entrepreneurship degree. Realising that we both occupy different spaces within the sustainability consulting industry, our relationship grew and they came to us looking for guidance on attaining B Corp certification. We thus embarked on the 3 step B Corp programme.
