On the Road to Net Zero Certified B Corporation

About us

Good Business was founded over 25 years ago, making us pioneers in the power of good. Our decades of experience are matched by our innovating drive to push the sustainability industry forward and help our clients succeed by building a future that is better for all of us. We know the space where business meets sustainability better than anyone, and bring our independent thought to every solution we develop.

We are a passionate team of strategists, writers, problem-solvers and technical experts, with hundreds of years of experience between us. From our Soho London office (and further afield) we work together to change the world for good.
