As a values-based, mission-led organisation, impact is at the heart of everything we do and in July 2022 Smile Together achieved B Corp certification! Independent verification that we meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability in balancing profit and purpose.
Not only are we the first dental practice in the UK to become B Corp certified but we achieved an impressively high overall B Impact Score of 122.9 – in context, 80 qualifies for B Corp Certification.
In 2025, we successfully recertified as a B Corp, increasing our B Impact Score from 122.9 to an impressive 152.5. This reflects the progress we’ve made across our organisation over the past three years — from strengthening our governance and investing in our people, to increasing our community impact, measuring our environmental footprint and continuing to improve the experience and accessibility of care for our patients.
Increasingly people want to work for, buy from and invest in businesses they believe in. It can’t be ignored – it’s something that comes up in almost every interview that we host, in almost every business engagement that we have. People seem genuinely interested in businesses with an ethos that’s about making a sustainable difference. We’re proud that our B Corp certification continues to recognise the work we’re doing to make a positive difference for our people, patients, communities and planet.
As an employee-owned CIC and certified B Corporation, Smile Together is legally required to consider the impact of our business decisions and evaluate and measure our entire social and environmental performance and impact.
We are proud to be part of the international B Corp community — a growing network of like-minded organisations using business as a force for good across the world. When we first became B Corp certified in 2022, we headed to Godrevy Beach to celebrate this important milestone:
