Lil Creative Studio: a B Corp Design Agency
Why B Corp matters for Lil Creative Studio
At Lil Creative Studio, we believe that business can and should be a force for good. From day one, we have been committed to using our creativity to make a positive impact – for our clients, our community, and the environment. In 2020, we strengthened this commitment by becoming Green Small Business certified, the small business equivalent of international environmental management standards. Becoming a B Corp design agency in 2024 was the natural next step, aligning our values with globally recognised ethical standards.
What is B Corp?
B Corp certification is awarded to businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. It is a rigorous process that measures a company’s impact on workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the planet.
“Business, the most powerful man-made force on the planet, can be a Positive Instrument for Change.”
– B Lab co-founder Jay Coen Gilbert
