Brompton is now B Corp certified

That means we've joined a community of like-minded organisations that aim to balance profit with doing the right thing for people and the planet.

We created a new type of movement when we invented the Brompton bike in 1975. Setting the bar for folding bikes and transforming the way people move around cities across the world. We’ve moved a million since and it’s just the start.

We believe in happier, healthier cities for all – our bike is not the answer but it is part of the solution. Create collective impact, challenge what is, have vision for the future and act on it. Be part of the movement.

we create urban freedom for happier lives

Towns and cities should be designed around the people who live and work in them - putting health, happiness, and freedom at the forefront.

It's why Andrew Ritchie invented the Brompton folding bike nearly 50 years ago, and it's why we exist today.

It's central to us being a B Corp.

B Corp is a useful tool, just like our bike

Riding a Brompton is good for you and the planet. But it's only part of the equation.

People, planet and activism, are at the heart of our business.

Being B Corp Certified helps embed these values into our culture.

It's a useful tool that helps us deliver our purpose by providing checks and balances. It means we're part of a global community with a shared framework and goal - to use our business as a force for good.

our B Corp score

We officially received our B Corp certification in July 2023. This marked a huge milestone for us.

To become B Corp Certified, we completed a B Impact Assessment — answering 300 questions across five impact topics. It works according to a point scoring system where you must achieve at least 80 points to qualify for the certification. It’s a robust process.

We scored 85 against a business average of 50.
