The Good Business Charter components
Find out more about our components
Our 10 components are designed to recognise commitment to good business practice and inspire businesses to change behaviour, where required. Click here to find out more.
The Good Business Charter is a simple accreditation which organisations in the UK can sign up to in recognition of responsible business practices.
It measures behaviour over 10 components: real living wage, fairer hours and contracts, employee well-being, employee representation, diversity and inclusion, environmental responsibility, paying fair tax, commitment to customers, ethical sourcing, and prompt payment.
A company must meet all 10 commitments to receive GBC accreditation. Open to private sector, public sector and charities of all sizes including a streamlined version for organisations with 50 employees or less.
Why do we need a GBC?
The time is right for a “Good Business Charter” to encourage responsible capitalism and publicly acknowledge those companies who exhibit such behaviour.
Who are we?
The GBC is an independent not-for-profit organisation supported by the CBI and TUC and brings considerable expertise from leading figures from the world of commerce.
