Hello. We are Truth.
A small consultancy with a big conviction.

At TRUTH, we help organisations become better businesses.

We specialise in guiding companies through the B Corp certification process, helping them build stronger governance, improve social and environmental impact, and embed purpose into the way they operate. Whether you are starting your B Corp journey, preparing for recertification, or looking to strengthen your impact strategy, we provide practical support from start to finish.

Founded by Laura Hothersall, TRUTH was created from a belief that successful businesses can create positive outcomes for people, communities and the environment while remaining commercially successful. After years of leading operations, people, finance and governance functions within fast-growing businesses, Laura experienced first-hand how frameworks such as B Corp can transform the way organisations think, measure performance and make decisions.

What started as helping a handful of businesses navigate certification quickly grew into a specialist consultancy supporting organisations across the UK. Today, TRUTH works with companies of all sizes, from ambitious SMEs to established organisations seeking to formalise and improve their impact.

What we believe

Four principles we won't bend on.

A short list.

01

Honest before clever.

Greenwashing isn't a marketing problem — it's a strategy problem. We'd rather have the difficult conversation in month two than the press crisis in year three.

02

The number, not the story.

Verified carbon. Audited disclosures. A B Impact Assessment that would survive scrutiny from someone who didn't write it. Anything else is fiction we charge for.

03

Speed of trust, not speed of slide deck.

We move at the pace your business actually changes. Faster than that and we'd be lying. Slower than that and we'd be wasting your money.

04

Independent by choice.

You'll always deal directly with Laura, ensuring continuity, accountability and a deep understanding of your business. For larger or specialist projects, we collaborate with a carefully selected network of trusted experts to deliver the support you need.

The person

One point of contact from start to finish.

You'll work directly with Laura throughout your project, with no account managers, no handovers and no layers between strategy and delivery.

Laura

Founder & lead consultant

Founder of Truth. Helps organisations through the B Corp journey from start to finish — personally, from first call to final report. The person you meet on the intro call is the person who does the work.

Our approach

We make a complex process feel manageable.

We know that every organisation is different. Many businesses begin the B Corp process feeling overwhelmed by the assessment, evidence requirements and evolving standards. Our role is to simplify the journey, break complex requirements into manageable actions and help teams focus on meaningful improvements rather than box-ticking exercises. We work alongside leadership teams, operations professionals, HR teams, sustainability leads and board members to create a clear roadmap towards certification and continuous improvement.

Why B Corp?

The certification is the start, not the destination.

B Corp certification has become one of the most recognised standards for businesses seeking to demonstrate high levels of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. But the greatest value is not the certification itself — the process encourages organisations to examine every aspect of how they operate, from governance and employee wellbeing to environmental impact, supply chain management and community engagement.

  • Improved employee attraction and retention
  • Stronger governance and risk management
  • Increased customer trust
  • More robust sustainability strategies
  • Enhanced reputation with stakeholders
  • Clearer measurement of social and environmental impact
The bigger picture

Our clients' impact, multiplied.

The organisations we support collectively represent thousands of employees, significant community investment and substantial environmental impact. Through their work, our clients contribute millions of pounds to local economies, support charitable initiatives, reduce emissions, strengthen workplace wellbeing and create positive change across their sectors.

As the B Corp movement continues to grow, we're proud to play a role in helping businesses use their influence, resources and expertise as a force for good.

Who we help

Purpose-driven organisations, across every sector.

We work with purpose-driven organisations across a wide range of sectors, helping them navigate B Corp certification, strengthen governance, improve sustainability performance and embed positive impact into their operations. While every organisation's journey is different, our clients are united by a desire to build businesses that create value for all stakeholders — not just shareholders.

Professional services

Consultancies, law firms, accountants, architects, engineers and advisory businesses seeking to align their operations with their values and maximise their assessment score.

Marketing, creative & digital agencies

Some of the UK's fastest-growing B Corps are agencies. We help branding, digital, PR, media and creative businesses navigate certification and develop meaningful impact strategies.

Technology & SaaS companies

We work with software companies, digital platforms and technology providers to build scalable impact frameworks that grow alongside their business.

Recruitment & talent businesses

We help recruitment agencies and talent businesses demonstrate their social impact, strengthen policies and create more inclusive, responsible organisations.

We support manufacturers, distributors and product-based companies in understanding their environmental impact, improving practices and aligning with B Corp standards.

Construction, property & built environment

We work with construction companies, property businesses, architects and engineers on practical approaches to impact measurement, governance and sustainability.

Financial services

We support financial advisers, wealth managers, fintech businesses and specialist firms looking to formalise their commitment to responsible business practices.

Social enterprises & purpose-led businesses

We help mission-driven organisations translate their purpose into measurable frameworks and recognised standards while preparing for certification and growth.

Growing SMEs

Ambitious small and medium-sized businesses wanting to formalise their values, improve governance and build a stronger foundation for future growth. A team of 10 or 500 — we tailor support to your stage.

Preparing for certification or recertification

Whether you're at the very start of your B Corp journey or preparing for recertification under evolving standards, we help you understand requirements, spot opportunities and manage the process from assessment through to submission.

Businesses that want to be a force for good

Ultimately, sector matters less than intent. We work with organisations that believe business can be a force for good and are committed to positive outcomes for employees, customers, communities and the environment.

If you're looking for a trusted B Corp consultant, sustainability adviser or impact partner, we're here to help you build a better business.

How we got here

Three years, in four moments.

We didn't plan a consultancy. We planned to help one company get certified. The rest happened.
