Cohesion supports the Better Business Act

Reinforcing our commitment to responsible, long-term thinking in financial planning.

Cohesion Financial Solutions is proud to confirm that we support the Better Business Act, a UK campaign calling for an update to company law so that directors are required to consider people, planet and long-term impact alongside profit.

From the outset, our intention has been to build a business grounded in responsibility. Supporting the Better Business Act reflects that intention in a clear and structured way.

The campaign, led by B Lab UK, seeks to amend Section 172 of the Companies Act so that directors are legally required to balance shareholder interests with wider social and environmental considerations. It is about evolving the framework within which businesses operate, not simply encouraging voluntary commitments.

For our clients, this means working with a firm that takes long-term thinking seriously. Financial planning is rarely about short-term decisions. It is about intergenerational wealth, retirement security, protection and the lasting impact of financial choices.

Supporting the Better Business Act aligns with how we already think:

• Acting responsibly, not reactively
• Considering long-term impact, not just immediate outcomes
• Embedding governance and accountability into how we operate

This commitment sits alongside our Pending B Corp status. While B Corp certification focuses on how an individual company performs and measures its impact, the Better Business Act seeks to strengthen the legal expectations placed on all companies.

Both matter. One provides accountability at a business level and the other supports a broader shift in how business success is defined.

In essence, we believe responsible business should not be exceptional. It should be expected.
