As we continue to celebrate B Corp Month at the Small Beer Brewery, we've rounded up a list of our favourite B Corp brands that we think Small Beer drinkers will enjoy.
ODDBOX
Did you know that the environmental impact of food waste is thought to be 248 times that of plastic? Every year, as much as 40% of food produced globally is wasted, contributing to an estimated 10% of all emissions.
Our friends at Oddbox are fighting food waste, one curvy cucumber at a time. They work with growers to rescue the "too odd" and "too many" – farm-fresh fruit and veg at risk of going to waste. Then they deliver overnight to keep emissions low, just like the milkman.

They are making chocolate history. Again. Founded by James Cadbury, the great-great-great grandson of John Cadbury, Love Cocoa creates exceptional chocolate in an exceptional way. They drive positive change, craft ethically and only use the world's finest cacao. That means ethically sourcing the finest ingredients and forging respectful relationships with family-run businesses to create delicious chocolate, whilst adhering to modern standards of sustainability and ethics.
The mainstream chocolate industry is far from delicious: it's rife with unfair farming, corporate takeovers, shrinking rainforests and compromised ingredients. Love Cocoa wants to break the pattern. This is a new era of chocolate from one of the oldest names in the game, which is why they call themselves the Modern Chocolatier.

H!P
The Love Cocoa team started H!P Chocolate in early 2021 with the aim of creating the next generation of chocolate by replacing dairy with plant-based creamy oat m!lk. Mainstream chocolate has been milking it for years with low-quality ingredients, and unsustainable practices. They want to make delicious chocolate accessible for everyone and anyone whilst disrupting the mainstream market by pioneering producing chocolate in a more sustainable way. It's milk chocolate without the milking it - using oat m!lk reduces their carbon footprint, land use and water use, meaning their chocolate is perfect for conscious consumers.
