March already? That’s the first quarter of 2025 done and dusted. It’s flown by here in the studio, and as always, we’ve had plenty on the go. Since March is B Corp Month, and we’re proud to be a certified B Corp ourselves, we’re using this edition to shine a light on the work we’ve been doing that reflects the values of the B Corp community.
Being a B Corp means living those standards all year round, but March gives us a great excuse to talk about it a bit more openly. We’ll be sharing a few recent highlights from the studio, along with a nod to some of our favourite fellow B Corps (although we could easily fill a whole newsletter with them).
To mark B Corp Month, the ORCA team headed to PurposeFest 2025, hosted by the brilliant Bristol & Bath B Local at the Bristol Beacon. A standout moment from the day was a thought-provoking morning panel on the concept of a Just Transition, exploring how we can move towards Net Zero in a way that’s fair, inclusive and equitable for all. The panel featured powerful insights from Tori Tsui, Lizzi Testani and Marvin Rees.
As Marvin Rees put it: “The poorest are the least responsible, yet the most vulnerable to the consequences [of climate change].”

We’re proud to be partnering with Carbon Neutral Fuels, a company leading the way in sustainable aviation. Their high-efficiency e-fuels reduce jet fuel emissions by up to 89%, offering a powerful solution to decarbonise long-distance travel.
Throughout March, we supported their successful Crowdcube campaign, which surpassed its target and moved into overfunding. As a B Corp, we’re selective about who we collaborate with, and Carbon Neutral Fuels’ commitment to real, scalable impact makes them a partner we're genuinely excited to support.
We had the pleasure of creating their Crowdcube campaign video - check it out here.
Mentoring the next generation of creatives is so important, and as a proud B Corp, we’re committed to using business as a force for good. That’s why we’re thrilled to be part of the Creative Community initiative from Falmouth University’s BA Graphic Design course. Representing ORCA, our very own Chris Rees has been connecting with students to review portfolios, offer invaluable feedback, and have meaningful conversations about their creative journeys and next steps.
Some of the ORCA crew touched down in the Netherlands last week to work on an exciting (and very secret) project we can’t quite talk about yet. Between long shoot days, we found time to wander through Groningen, soaking up the architecture, typography, signage, colour palettes, and all the quiet inspiration the city had to offer.
Check out what we’re up to on our Instagram.
In celebration of B Corp Month, we’re shining a light on Camper - a brand known for its quirky, characterful style that goes well beyond its shoes. Their community, The Walking Society, offers more than just exclusive perks; it’s also home to a beautifully curated magazine, featuring standout photography, including work by the legendary Martin Parr. Peruse the publication here.
French cycling brand Café du Cycliste blends performance with purpose, bringing sustainability to the world of high-end cycling apparel. From recycled materials to mindful manufacturing, they’re redefining what it means to ride responsibly. As a B Corp, their commitment goes beyond the road - proving that style, function and ethics can go hand in hand.
Botivo is shaking up the non-alcoholic drinks scene with its bold, botanical aperitif made using a slow, handcrafted process. Rooted in real ingredients and zero shortcuts, Botivo’s approach reflects its B Corp values - prioritising sustainability, transparency and flavour in equal measure. It’s not just a drink, it’s a ritual.
