Edgbaston Park Hotel, owned by the University of Birmingham, has won the “B Corp Certification” – a global benchmark for businesses committed to high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
Joining the ranks of companies like The Guardian, Innocent Drinks, and Tony’s Chocolonely, Edgbaston Park Hotel is now part of a growing global community of over 9,700 certified B Corps, including more than 2,500 in the UK.
The certification, awarded by non-profit organisation B Lab UK, recognises businesses that go beyond profit to consider their impact on people and the planet. Through a rigorous auditing process, the hotel demonstrated its dedication to sustainability, ethical governance, and community wellbeing.
