Niche X B Lab

Change, that's the bottom line.

niche x b-lab
The ambition to do good while doing good business has always been part of the original vision and we’ve spent a decade, already, sharing that intention with both our team and clients. We formalised those views when we met B Lab, the non-profit organisation driving the global B Corp movement.

B Corps are a new type of business that use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
B Corp certification is to business what Fair Trade is to coffee and there are over 2 200 certified B Corps around the globe – including groundbreaking brands such as Patagonia and Ben & Jerry’s. The certification ensures that every member company meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.

The Niche Guys have embraced creativity as a force for good with their Purpose: “lighting creative fires”. To learn more about our motivations, internal programs and this certification, check out our B Corp profile here.

Interested in helping us make the world a better place? Let’s talk.
