When you’re building a purpose-led business, every decision reflects your values. From suppliers to partners, hiring to operations – each choice either reinforces or undermines what you stand for.
Your workspace choice is no different.
At Work.Life, we’re proud to host 25+ certified B Corps and 40+ purpose-led businesses across our London, Manchester, and Reading locations. This concentration isn’t accidental – it’s the result of shared values around sustainability, community, and doing business differently.
B Corp certification isn’t just a badge. It’s a rigorous, verified standard proving a business meets high benchmarks for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
To become certified, businesses must:
It’s not easy. But for purpose-led businesses, B Corp certification provides:
For values-driven businesses, workspace isn’t just about location and price. It’s about alignment.
Your workspace is part of your environmental footprint:
Buildings consume massive energy for lighting, heating, cooling, and operations. When you choose a sustainable workspace, you’re outsourcing environmental responsibility to providers who operate at scale, invest in sustainable infrastructure, and measure impact transparently.
Your workspace shapes your culture:
When your team works in an environment that reflects and reinforces your values – through sustainable design, community of like-minded businesses, and visible commitment to people and planet – it strengthens engagement and makes living your values easier.
Your workspace communicates your values:
Before you say a word, your workspace tells clients and recruits what you stand for. Sustainable, thoughtfully designed spaces demonstrate consistency between your claims and choices.
We’re not just hosting B Corps – we’re one ourselves. Our certification reflects years of intentional choices:
Environmental responsibility:
Community over transactions:
Transparency and accountability:
Our B Corp community spans diverse industries. Here are just some of the certified B Corps working from our spaces:

Neil French, STOIX’s Co-founder and Director says: “We didn’t have to consider any others! It was ideal so we went for it.”
When you work alongside 25+ other certified B Corps and 40+ purpose-led businesses, several things happen:
Values alignment becomes visible
You’re surrounded by businesses making similar choices – environmental commitments, fair wages, community investment. This normalises what others might view as “extra” effort.
Collaboration opportunities emerge naturally
Shared values create foundations for partnerships and mutual support. Several of our B Corp members now work together on projects.
Standards rise through peer influence
When everyone around you is measuring impact and improving practices, the community holds itself to high standards.
Talent and client attraction improves
Being surrounded by purpose-driven businesses enhances your employer brand and attracts clients who value ethics alongside capability.
If you’re running a sustainable business or pursuing B Corp certification, ask potential workspace providers:
Environmental: How do you measure and report environmental impact? Are you B Corp certified?
Community: What’s the community like? Do other purpose-led businesses work here?
Transparency: Is pricing all-inclusive? How do you treat your own team?
Flexibility: Can I scale as my business changes without rigid commitments?
At Work.Life, our B Corp certification means our sustainability claims are verified, measured, and publicly reported. With 25+ B Corps in our spaces, you’re working alongside others who share your values.
From biophilic design to ethical procurement, our sustainability efforts create tangible benefits you share simply by being a member. And our flexible terms mean you can grow sustainably without being trapped in commitments that force unsustainable expansion.
Purpose-led businesses face enough challenges without compromising on workspace. You shouldn’t have to choose between affordability, flexibility, community, and values alignment.
At Work.Life, you don’t have to make that choice.
