<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Sustainable coworking in West London: How we achieved SKA Gold</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you're searching for<a href="https://www.huckletree.com/coworking-space/london/west-london/kensington" title="&nbsp;Coworking space in Kensington" rel="follow">&nbsp;<strong>coworking space in Kensington</strong></a>,&nbsp;or a perfect location to host your next meeting or event in West London, this one&rsquo;s for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">At Huckletree, we don&rsquo;t just design workspaces that look good - we build them to do good. When we opened&nbsp;Huckletree Kensington, we set out to create a space that would inspire bold thinking, nurture wellbeing, and minimise environmental impact. That vision has now been recognised with a&nbsp;SKA Gold rating&nbsp;- the highest certification for sustainable commercial fit-outs in the UK.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For businesses and teams looking for&nbsp;flexible workspaces in West London, this means you&rsquo;re not just choosing a beautiful base - you&rsquo;re choosing one built on purpose.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">What is SKA Gold - and why should workspace seekers care?</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">SKA is a sustainability benchmark developed by RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) to assess the environmental performance of fit-outs in commercial spaces. Unlike other certifications, SKA focuses solely on how responsibly a space is fitted out - which is particularly relevant for&nbsp;coworking spaces&nbsp;and&nbsp;hybrid offices&nbsp;like ours.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">A&nbsp;SKA Gold rating&nbsp;means we&rsquo;ve achieved the highest level of sustainability across areas including materials, waste management, energy use, and indoor environmental quality. So whether you&rsquo;re booking a meeting room, coworking from our terrace or moving your team into one of our private offices, you&rsquo;re choosing a&nbsp;workspace in Kensington&nbsp;that truly walks the talk.</span></p>
<p></p>

<h4></h4>
<p></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">How we designed our sustainable workspace in Kensington</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">From the beginning, Huckletree Kensington was designed to reflect our values as a&nbsp;B Corp certified company&nbsp;- building for people and planet.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h4><span style="color: #000000;">✅ Thoughtfully Sourced Materials</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We used&nbsp;FSC-certified timber, low-VOC paints, and finishes that are recycled, recyclable or responsibly sourced - all without compromising on aesthetics. It&rsquo;s a space that feels high-end, but with a lighter footprint.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h4><span style="color: #000000;">♻️ Low-Waste, Circular Mindset</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Over&nbsp;90% of our construction waste was diverted from landfill, with repurposing and recycling built into the plan from day one. We avoided unnecessary strip-out and worked with sustainability-focused contractors across the project.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h4><span style="color: #000000;">⚡ Smart Energy Design</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our&nbsp;energy-efficient lighting, HVAC systems and controls&nbsp;are designed to minimise energy use without sacrificing comfort. Plus, we&rsquo;ve made the most of natural light to create a calming, uplifting environment.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h4><span style="color: #000000;">🌿 Designed for Wellness</span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Great work doesn&rsquo;t happen in bland, airless boxes. Huckletree Kensington was designed with&nbsp;air quality, acoustics, biophilic design and natural light&nbsp;front and centre - creating a space that actively supports wellbeing.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">What it means for teams, creators and founders</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you&rsquo;re a team, startup or entrepreneur looking for&nbsp;office space in West London, Huckletree Kensington isn&rsquo;t just a stylish postcode - it&rsquo;s a space that reflects your values.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">From&nbsp;coworking desks and private studios&nbsp;to&nbsp;beautifully designed meeting rooms, everything has been created with sustainability, wellbeing and performance in mind.</span></p>
<p></p>
<hr>
<h4><span style="color: #000000;">A word from our founder</span></h4>
<p><em><span style="color: #000000;">&ldquo;Kensington is one of my favourite Huckletree spaces we&rsquo;ve ever created - it&rsquo;s warm, it&rsquo;s beautiful, and it has a real sense of calm strength to it. But just as important as how it looks is how we built it. As a B Corp, we have a responsibility to show that you can create exceptional environments without harming the planet. Prioritising sustainability wasn&rsquo;t a trade-off - it was part of the creative brief.&rdquo;</span></em></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>In a world where business success is increasingly measured not just by profit margins but by positive impact, B Corp certification has emerged as the gold standard for companies committed to balancing purpose and profit. At Huckletree, we're proud to be B Corp certified since 2023, and to house a growing community of certified B Corps who are leading the charge in their respective industries.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>We sat down with three of our member businesses, Energylab, Big Mamma, and High-Rise Communications, to learn about their B Corp journeys, what motivated them to pursue certification, and how it's transforming their businesses from the inside out.</p>

<div></div>
<p></p>
<p>Energylab, Members of Huckletree Liverpool Street, is a forward-thinking building services and sustainability consultancy. With extensive expertise in both design and project management across diverse sectors, we are committed to integrating circular economy principles that support a fair and sustainable life for all.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>When did you become a B Corp?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>We became an accredited B Corp on 27th June 2022, which made us the first building services consultancy to join the movement.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>What motivated Energylab to pursue B Corp certification?</strong></p>
<p>Marian felt that the B Corp accreditation encapsulated the very principles that she built Energylab on and presented us with an opportunity to showcase our strengths and join a network of other likeminded businesses across the built environment sector.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>How has being part of the B Corp community benefited your business beyond the certification itself?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>The B impact assessment itself has given us an excellent framework by which to measure, track and improve our business operation across all five B Corp pillars. It has provided networking opportunities for us to share best practice and learn from others who are equally committed to using their business as a force for good.</p>

We built this group on strong values - meritocracy, excellence, entrepreneurship, and authenticity - with people and the planet always at the heart of what we do. The B Corp movement pushed us to go even further, constantly improving our social and environmental impact and rethinking hospitality for the better.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>How has being part of the B Corp community benefited your business beyond the certification itself?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Being a B Corp keeps us inspired and on track to make a real difference. This certification is a daily guide that shapes everything we do, from the produce we source to how we use energy and support our employees. It's also helped us build a strong company culture, attracting people who share our values and want to be part of a business that puts people and the planet first. And at the end of the day, it all comes back to our mission: changing lives with pizza!</p>

<h3>High-Rise Communications: Strategic Communication with Social Purpose</h3>
<p></p>
<p>High-Rise Communications is a strategic communications agency based in Huckletree Ancoats, Manchester. Services include PR, reputation management, crisis communications and media training. High-Rise's clients include national and regional charities, technology-for-good platforms, healthcare organisations, hospices, social movements, social enterprises, impact investment specialists and more.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>When did you become a B Corp?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>We became B Corp in October 2024.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>What motivated High-Rise Communications to pursue B Corp certification?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>The reason why we decided to become B Corp was due to the nature of the clients we were dealing with anyway &ndash; it seemed like a bit of a gap not to be B Corp when we work with so many charities and other organisations helping to build stronger communities.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>How has being part of the B Corp community benefited your business beyond the certification itself?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Beyond certification, B Corp has helped with culture and making sure all the team are contributing to and thinking about how we develop High-Rise and make it a better place to work. We're also taking part in B Corp initiatives as part of creating social value through our business model, such as a community skills share in Manchester that's coming up in a few weeks.</p>

<p></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">In today's business landscape, sustainability isn't just a buzzword, it's becoming a core business strategy. As companies seek to demonstrate their commitment to people and planet alongside profit, B Corp certification has emerged as the gold standard. But what does the journey to certification really entail?</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">We sat down with the team at Future Shift, sustainability consultants who have guided over 100 businesses to successful B Corp certification, to separate fact from fiction and provide practical insights for businesses considering this transformative journey.</span></p>

<h2 style="margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">Beyond the Badge, What B Corp Really Means</span></strong></h2>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">"One of the biggest misconceptions is that B Corp certification is purely a marketing badge," explains <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://future-shift.co.uk/" rel="follow">Future Shift</a></span>. In reality, it's a comprehensive assessment covering governance, environment, workers, community, and customers designed to embed sustainability into your operational DNA.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">Many businesses also believe they need to be perfect before they can certify. The Future Shift team stresses that it's about progress, not perfection. Certification rewards continuous improvement, and the journey itself drives meaningful change.

<p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">What stops businesses from reaching the finish line? According to Future Shift, data collection is often the first major hurdle: "Businesses often realise they're not tracking enough detail on areas like emissions, employee engagement, or supply chains."</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">Beyond that, the challenges are predictable but significant: not having enough time and not enough money to pay consultancy fees. This is precisely where specialists like Future Shift step in, offering both expertise and software solutions to streamline the process.</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif Medium'; color: #05262c; font-weight: 400;"><strong><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">The Business Case: Quantifying B Corp ROI</span></strong></span></h2>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">While direct financial returns can be challenging to measure, the business case for B Corp certification is becoming increasingly compelling.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">"There's growing evidence that B Corps outperform their peers in resilience and reputation," Future Shift points out. "Businesses report increased customer loyalty, stronger talent attraction and retention, and greater access to investment opportunities."</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">The numbers back this up. Between 2023 and 2024, small and medium-sized UK B Corps saw a 23.2% increase in turnover compared to a national increase of 16.8% for SMEs. During the same period, these businesses experienced a 9.6% increase in employee headcount, compared to a national decrease of 0.5%.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">In competitive markets, certification is increasingly becoming a differentiator. In sectors like retail and hospitality, B Corp certification is increasingly seen as a 'deal winner' especially in competitive tenders.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;"></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">Who's Leading the B Corp Movement?</span></strong></h2>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">The B Corp landscape is evolving rapidly across different sectors. "We're seeing a significant rise in certifications among service industries, particularly marketing, creative agencies, and professional services," reveals Future Shift. With 78.2% of agencies now holding a sustainability certification (up from 51.4% in 2023), B Corp is becoming a strategic advantage in these fields.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">But the movement isn't limited to services, product-based industries like food, drink, and fashion are also accelerating as consumer demand for ethical, transparent supply chains increases.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;"></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">As for what's next, Future Shift predicts that "B Corp standards are becoming more rigorous, particularly around climate action, supply chain transparency, and social equity." This evolution reflects growing stakeholder expectations and the urgent need for businesses to address global challenges.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000;">Looking ahead, "Certification is likely to demand stronger evidence of impact, not just commitments with the next evolution of the standards, relevant from January 2026 onwards."</span></p>
