An all-female holiday lettings specialist is among the latest Cornish companies to have joined the rapidly-growing B Corp movement.

Following a rigorous evaluation process across multiple impact areas, including social and environmental performance, legal accountability, and public transparency, Cornish Holiday Cottages becomes part of a worldwide community of businesses that prioritise purpose alongside profit.

“I am beyond delighted to have achieved B Corp certification,” said MD Emily Boriosi.

“Cornish Holiday Cottages was founded on the principles of kindness, honesty and doing right back in 1978. We have always believed in looking after our environment, taking care of each other and looking after our community.”

There are now 78 businesses in Cornwall to boast B Corp certification, making it the biggest concentration outside of London. Fellow holiday lettings business, Forever Cornwall, became a B Corp last month, while Cornish clothing brand, Seasalt, revealed it, too, had become a B Corp earlier this week.
