B CORP EVENT CASE STUDY
The Kent B Corps needed a sustainable event bar for their celebration of B Lab's 10th Birthday. As we were finalising our certification to become the first B Corp mobile event bar we were the perfect bar for this celebration. Every element was exclusively sourced from fellow B Corps, from the premium drinks and straws to the eco cups making it a 100% B Corp event bar.

THIS EVENT DONATED TO 9 CHARITIES
Guests, including founding UK B Corps Cook and Elvis & Kresse, enjoyed our 100% B Corp certified drinks menu that featured sustainable cocktails and award winning wines:
Bee Friendly Gin Rickey (Warner's Gin & Funkin): Made with award-winning B Corp gin sustainably produced using 100% renewable energy. The distillery sits on 5 acres of land that homes 1.2 million bees and 250,000 plant species to champion biodiversity. Warner's supports The Wildlife Trust and is a 1% for the Planet member. Paired with B Corp certified Funkin mixers.
THIS EVENT HELPED EMPLOY 1 VULNERABLE STAF
By choosing us for this celebration B Lab helped us provide professional hospitality employment for a vulnerable staff member. Our team members often face significant barriers to employment but we believe talent is universal. That's why we actively employ individuals navigating homelessness, living with disabilities or rebuilding their lives after past convictions. For us a shift isn't just about employment, it's a stepping stone to stability and the support they need to build a new future.
To ensure the B Lab celebration was truly climate positive we planted a forest of 100 trees and protected 300 more from deforestation through our verified partnership with Ripple Africa. During the lifetime of these trees they will sequester 30 tonnes of CO2 which is the equivalent of driving 73,000 miles in an average car. This forest includes fruit trees that provide sustainable food and income for the local farming community.

RACHAEL, CARLEY COACHING
“When planning our B Corp 10th Anniversary celebration for the Kent B Corp community we needed an eco-friendly mobile bar service that reflected our ethical values. Better World Bar Hire delivered a fully sustainable event bar solution that enhanced our guest experience. The team curated a unique 100% B Corp drinks menu and provided specific data on the trees planted for our ESG reporting, which I've never seen before from a mobile event bar. Their service was professional, polished and proved that you don't need to compromise on quality to run a climate positive event. I cannot recommend them enough for any brand looking to host a truly sustainable corporate event.”
Yes. We do not just serve drinks we measure your event impact.

This data is perfect for your annual Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) report, Scope 3 emissions tracking or your B Impact Assessment.
