Our impact
we are problem solvers
we listen to what customers tell us, and use insight and data to develop fantastic products and brands
At GrowUp, we have always been passionate about creating a more sustainable food system and being a force for good on this planet – it’s why Kate Hofman and Tom Webster founded the business in the first place.
And business as a force for good is what the B Corp UK movement is all about.
Not only are we chuffed to be certified, but we’re also very proud to have gained a whopping B Impact Score of 104.7 points, against the pass threshold of 80 points.

How we contribute to the economic and social well-being of the communities in which we operate through diversity, equity and inclusion as well as supply chain.
