Good Business Charter

Accredited organisations

90 North

“We established 90 North in 2011, resolute to embed an ethical and responsible approach to our business operations. As a statement of intent we adopted a brand promise of “Doing great business. With a good conscience.” But there is always room for improvement, with the Good Business Charter accreditation process helping us identify and implement further positive changes. We are very proud to be a GBC early adopter and look forward to being an active participant in this most worthwhile initiative.”

Amnesty International

Kate Allen, Director, Amnesty International UK

Amnesty International welcomes the opportunity to become part of an initiative that sends strong signals to companies that ethical business is moving out of its niche to become mainstream. Each of the ten components of the Charter has significant impacts on society, but the Charter as a whole promises to be much more than a sum of its parts. At a time when trust in business is low, it is vital that companies be encouraged and incentivised to adhere to such standards. We look forward to the GBC generating considerable momentum to help bring about greater levels of accountability of business for their impacts on human rights and the environment.

Anglia Research

In a landscape dominated by fierce competition, we are proud to employ more accredited genealogists, legally qualified and independently regulated staff than any other UK probate research company. Our endorsement by the Good Business Charter is testament to Anglia Research’s transparent and ethical working practices, as well as our ability to independently regulate and nurture a culture of accountability.

The calibre of our team allows us to find relatives quickly and, crucially, we do not cut corners. Anglia Research’s genealogists liaise with a global network of agents to connect with missing beneficiaries, lost or unknown heirs, and the rightful owners of unclaimed assets.

We are determined to show that we can do business differently and set an example to our peers in the probate genealogy sector.

Audax®

As Audax® were worldwide Pioneers in Body Worn Video (BWV) technology, we are also proud to be one of the first businesses to adopt the Good Business Charter.

Providing award winning products is one thing, but having recognition for how we conduct ourselves as a business is of particular importance to Audax.

Every responsible organisation should aspire to reach the highest possible standards in the way they conduct themselves. Being able to publicly prove and advertise a commitment to achieving and supporting the 10 components that make up The Good Business Charter we hope encourages and inspires others to also be a responsible business.

Autistic Nottingham

We are a charity run entirely by and for Autistic adults who are not intellectually disabled (also known as Asperger’s Syndrome or High Functioning Autism). We set up to fight the misconceptions that are still held around Autism and to provide support for Autistic people who have low needs compared to those who have additional needs. As an organisation we pride ourselves on being as ethical, accessible and inclusive as possible and we’re proud to have attained this accreditation to evidence that.

Bellevue Law

Florence Brocklesby, Founder, Bellevue Law:

“We’re delighted to be the first law firm accredited by the Good Business Charter. It’s recognition of Bellevue Law’s commitment to behaving fairly to our people, our clients and our suppliers, and conducting our business responsibly and sustainably. We’re proud to be a member of the GBC family.”

Blu Sky

“Really pleased to gain accreditation here, the principles of the GBC genuinely resonate with our own values. I’d encourage every business owner to look closely at this.”

Dave Gibson, Co-Founder – Blu Sky

Brett Nicholls Associates

David Nicholls, Partner, Brett Nicholls Associates:

“We’re delighted to be accredited by the Good Business Charter and join a list of great businesses large and small. All of the accreditation criteria including the Living Wage, environmental awareness, and fair payment of suppliers are so important to us as a firm and we hope will become the norm for all businesses in the future.”

Brompton

Since the industrial revolution the role of business was to make a profit, where the ends justified the means. There were exceptions who recognised the positive role of business to the community but these were rare.

But business is not beholden to the shareholder, business is beholden to the customer and it is the customer who is demanding change; where business contributes to society and our planet.
The Good Business Charter is a signpost to recognise those companies, who are far from perfect, but aspire to contribute to a fair society. We at Brompton believe in that philosophy.

Buddy Burst

We are thrilled to be accredited by the Good Business Charter. Each and every 1 of the 10 Good Business Charter components are equally important to us. Our promotional products care for the earth and we maintain that caring ethos in how we conduct ourselves with our customers, employees and suppliers. We believe in honest and fair business practice. We will be proudly showcasing this recognition and hope that it will encourage more businesses to strive towards this standard.

Calteq

Good business practice is at the heart of Calteq from the way we work with our suppliers and customers to how we look after our most important asset, our colleagues. It is for this reason that we are delighted to have been accredited by The Good Business Charter.

Here at Calteq we are continually looking at ways in which we can develop our proposition and doing this in the most considerate and ethical way possible is absolutely essential to our success. The ten principles set out in the Good Business Charter provides a blueprint to conduct business in the right way and we urge more businesses to follow suit.
