At Major Players, we believe that business should be used as a force for good, putting people, purpose and the planet alongside profit in our decision making. In 2022, we proudly became an accredited B Corporation™ joining an exclusive community aimed at redefining success in business.
Since our inception in 1993, we have always valued our people and championed our communities, alongside our desire to build a sustainable business. Now more than ever, the values that our business and people hold, perfectly align with B Corp’s™ agenda, and this accreditation recognises our strong track record to date and provides a framework for us to cement ourselves as a force for good.
As part of the accreditation, we've been through a rigorous and holistic evaluation across five impact areas, ensuring that we meet B Corp’s™ high standards of verified performance, accountability and transparency. You can find out more about our B Corp journey here.
Major Players is now part of an exclusive community of only 1400 businesses who have certified as B Corps™ in the UK, including well-known brands such as The Guardian, Innocent, Patagonia, The Body Shop and Abel & Cole.

What is B-Corp?
A Certified B Corporation is a company that has voluntarily met the highest standards for social and environmental performance. These standards are intentionally set high and are meant to recognize leading companies. The standards are developed independently and cover a company’s impact in key areas, including Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.
To get certified a company must meet stringent requirements, including completing a comprehensive assessment of their company’s impacts on all stakeholders, and having their assessment verified by B Lab, the non-profit behind the B Corp certification. Since it's launch in the UK, over 150,000 companies have tried to be accredited but only 4% of businesses have been successful.
