We are really pleased that we have achieved Good Business Charter (GBC) accreditation! This underscores our commitment to ethical business practices and our dedication to making a positive impact on society and the environment.
What is the Good Business Charter?
The Good Business Charter is an independent certification that recognises responsible business behaviour across ten key components. These components are designed to ensure that businesses operate with integrity, fairness and respect for all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers and the environment.
Achieving this accreditation means we have met the rigorous standards set by the GBC, demonstrating our commitment to ethical practices.
Our commitment to the ten GBC components
We have committed to the 10 core requirements of the Good Business Charter, including paying the Real Living Wage, having no zero hours or insecure contracts, and supporting employee well-being and representation.
For our customers, we are committed to monitoring satisfaction with our products and services at every touchpoint.
For everyone, we commit to paying fair tax. Our commitment to environmental responsibility has already been recognised in our ISO14001 accreditation but we are going further, with clear Net Zero policies.
In today’s world, responsible business practices are more important than ever. According to recent surveys, 97% of people value businesses that operate ethically and sustainably. Our GBC accreditation not only sets us apart as a leader in ethical capitalism but also reinforces our commitment to putting people and the planet first. This achievement is a testament to our dedication to building a better, fairer world through our business practices.
What this Means for our stakeholders
We believe that fair and ethical work is fundamental to building a sustainable business that works for our customers, our employees and our community. By continually strengthening our commitments to social responsibility we create a company that our employees can be proud to work for, and that our customers want to stay with.
“I’m delighted that we’ve achieved Good Business Charter accreditation. It’s another big step in building the business we all want to work for – one which puts people and long-term thinking at the centre of everything we do.” – Tim Hobbs, CEO
