Why This Matters To Us

At The Happy Pear, we’ve always believed that food is more than just food—it’s a powerful tool for change. From our farm to our cafés, our products, and our community events, everything we do is rooted in the belief that health and sustainability go hand in hand.

We’ve been inspired by the growing awareness that business can play a meaningful role in tackling some of the biggest challenges of our time—climate change, inequality, biodiversity loss, and more. But real change takes collaboration, movements, and businesses holding themselves accountable.

That’s why this certification matters to us—not because it makes us “the best,” but because it pushes us to be better.

So what is a B Corp?

Certified B Corporations are businesses that have been verified by B Lab™ to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. It means we’ve taken a long, hard look at every part of our business—from how we support our team, to how we grow our food, to how we impact our local community and the wider world—and we’re committed to continuous improvement in all those areas.

The journey to certification took over a year and asked a lot of us. It wasn’t straightforward—but it was important. We took time to reflect, to measure what really matters, and to look at ourselves honestly. Are we looking after our team as well as we could be? Are we caring for the soil and the land we grow from? Are we showing up for our local community in the right ways? Are we living the values we talk about?

This isn’t a badge—it’s a commitment!

We want to be clear: becoming a B Corp isn’t an end point, or an “award.” It’s a commitment to keep getting better, year after year. We’ll be re-certified every three years to ensure we’re continuing to meet (and exceed) the evolving standards set by B Lab. For us, this means deepening the work we’re doing on our farm, finding better ways to measure our environmental impact, investing in our team’s wellbeing, and continuing to support the community around us.

As a B Corp, we’re joining a global movement of businesses that are using business as a force for good—businesses working together to create a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. That means one that puts people and the planet first, not just profit.

We now stand alongside more than 8,000 B Corps across 80+ countries and 150+ industries, all committed to changing the rules of the game. Instead of prioritising short-term gain, we’re working towards long-term value for our team, our community, and future generations.

Thank You!

This wouldn’t have happened without the incredible work of our amazing team, and you—our community, who’ve supported us from the start. You’ve inspired us to keep going, keep evolving, and keep showing that a different kind of business is possible.
