Harnessing our business power towards driving positive impact for all of our stakeholders.
What is a B Corp?
B Corp is a certification created by B Lab where a business has demonstrated high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. Becoming a B Corporation means joining a movement of businesses that are striving towards creating good for all, balancing profit with purpose and enriching the lives of all our employees and stakeholders.
What this means for Lbox and our stakeholders
We are proud to have joined a movement of 2600 B Corps in the UK and 10,000 globally so far. With an impact score of 87.5, well above the 80-point pass mark, we are legally committed to balancing profit with purpose and harnessing our business power to make a positive impact on all of our stakeholders. You can find our 2025 Impact Report here.
Actions we take as a company are aimed towards a more ethical, eco-friendly tomorrow. From planting trees after every job we complete, to maintaining a carbon-positive workforce, we are as fiercely committed to our planet as we are to our customers and our team.

Customers
Our aim is to provide our customers with world class service.
- We design and build easy-to-use solutions that eliminate inefficient, mundane and repetitive tasks.
- We currently hold a Net Promoter Score of 83 points, which is a survey we send to customers yearly to measure our performance and receive feedback.
- We took the decision to invest in our staff and infrastructure and significantly extended our 'unaddressed' door-drop area across the South East of England, meaning we keep costs down for our clients and invest more in our staff.
- We complete over 20,000 jobs every year and are currently working with over 400 clients.
Environment
Every action we take as a company is aimed at building a more environmentally conscious future. We have worked towards this by:
- Rolling out vehicles with cleaner-burning alternatives, starting with introducing two electric vans into our operations. We want to reduce waste and increase social value wherever we can, which is why we donated one of our replaced vans to First Days Children's Charity.
- Planting over 98,000 trees so far.
- Procuring 100% of our energy from renewable sources.
- Using Premier Paper, who support planting native UK woodland on an ongoing basis through the Woodland Trust's carbon scheme.
- 75% of our purchases being accredited by social or environmental certifications.
- Using local suppliers for over 40% of purchases. You can find our supplier policy here.
Community
We are committed to giving back to our community through:
- Partnering with Richmond Borough Mind as part of our commitment to mental health awareness and wellbeing. We opted for a local charity as we want to have a positive local impact. We are in our second year of partnership and have supported multiple events, including sponsoring and participating in their Mental Elf Fun Run, a Quiz & Curry Night, and some of our braver members even zip-wired across Twickenham Stadium!
- Our ongoing relationship with Our Kids Foundation, a Bosnian charity supporting vulnerable children and young adults in Mostar. We have been working with Our Kids since their creation in 2010 and are regular sponsors of the fundraising events they hold in London.
- Giving each of our employees one paid volunteering day a year.
- Making significant donations to multiple charities over the year.
Visit to Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Three of our team - Lizzie, Hayden and Victor - flew to Mostar to visit the Our Kids Foundation and learn more about their work and impact in the region, as well as exploring more ways to support the foundation and strengthen our partnership further.
'Mental Elf' fundraiser
This year, our team ran the 5km Richmond Borough Mind Mental Elf Fun Run, raising an incredible £1650 to help RB Mind continue to provide critical mental health support in the local community.
On Hand
We have partnered with OnHand, a B Corp certified app where our employees can sign up for volunteering opportunities. OnHand allows us to focus on tasks that align with our B Corp goals by focusing on many different areas of volunteering that aim to help people and the planet.

We are committed to embedding ESG principles into our leadership and decision-making processes.
The average articles of association revolve around profits alone. Since becoming B Corp, we have amended them to consider our impact on all our stakeholders. This will help us hold ourselves accountable and ingrain our promises to all of our stakeholders.
Proud partner of
The Rainforest Trust
As a Bronze member of the Rainforest Trust UK, our donations protect 4,000 sq. ft. of rainforest. As part of the Conservation Circle, we join businesses all over the world in protecting endangered species and habitats across the globe. We chose the Rainforest Trust because 100% of our donations go towards this important cause.
Working as one for a brighter future
For any environmental commitment to stick, everyone has to play a part. Our ever-growing list of internal initiatives are created by our team for our team, so that sustainability is championed in everything we do.
Toner recycling
As a company that offers large-scale printing, we recycle all our printer toner cartridges, cutting down waste and reducing the amount of materials needed to make new toner products.
Digital first
Everyone across our company uses paperless job sheets. In doing so, we reduce our paper usage and waste within the business.
Natural carbon reduction
We’ve introduced plants across many sites and areas of the business. This not only goes a small way to lower our carbon output, but creates a more pleasant work environment.
Saving power
From ensuring power outlets are turned off when not in use, to reducing light consumption. Every member of our team is committed to cutting our daily energy usage and taking small, important steps to fight climate change.
Company-wide recycling
We have taken an all-in approach to recycling, introducing recycling bins in our offices and removing general waste paper bins at desks to encourage this at all times.
Clothes drives
We hold regular clothes drives which allows our employees to get rid of their unwanted clothes in a sustainable way and support underprivileged areas.
Sustainability week
and other events
We take part in a sustainability week each year, which sees all of our team make their way into the office by foot, public transport, and other eco-friendly methods.
Fundraising initiatives
We regularly organise fundraising events to support environmental and humanitarian causes, such as sending first-aid kits to the people of Ukraine. Watch this space to follow our journey.
