Bike Club achieves B Corp certification

Children’s subscription bike business Bike Club has announced that, “after a long application process throughout 2022, we are delighted to have met the stringent social and environmental requirements set out by B Lab and receive our B Corp certification.”

Of the news, Bike Club CEO James Symes comments, “We’re passionate about circular here and it’s great to meet the high standards set by the B Corp certification.”

“It’s been a multi year project, in fact it was part of our first 100 day plan at series A.

Massive credit to the team who saw it through. There are a lot of people to thank but I have to name Harry Freeman and Anna McLaughlin for getting it over the line.”

The B Corp Process and Bike Club

Commenting on the process, and the impact it has upon the business; “Completing the B Corp process has helped us to improve processes across the business and has inspired us to become a better business. Since becoming a B Corp, we have begun to track our carbon emissions and will use the information to reduce our carbon footprint through ensuring our business processes are as sustainable as possible. We can now learn from other B Corps and are in the process of monitoring our ESG performance to ensure that we can drive sustainability in every area of the business.”

“By supporting us you are supporting a movement towards a more circular economy that prioritises people and the planet, so we thank you for that!”

In May of 2022 the business, the largest bike-subscription scheme in the UK, announced that, after closing £16.75M in new investment it had secured funding for its ambitions to pedal into Germany and France within the next 12 to 24 months.
