Accredited organisations posts - Good Business Charter

Capita

Jon Lewis, CEO, Capita:

“I’m incredibly proud that Capita is a founding participant and the first business to be accredited by the Good Business Charter. I am committed to putting responsibility at the heart of everything we do as part of our multi-year transformation at Capita – in how we operate, serve society, respect our people and the environment. Capita’s essential services impact the lives of millions of people, and the Charter recognises the important steps that Capita has made to use this position to be a progressive, purpose led, responsible business. This includes appointing employees to our board and announcing that all of our UK employees will be paid the Real Living Wage as a minimum.”

Richer Sounds

Julie Abraham, CEO, Richer Sounds:

I am delighted that Richer Sounds has been accredited by The Good Business Charter and hope that as many companies as possible follow suit. We will be displaying the GBC logo with pride and urge others to sign up. This will help the Good Business Charter create a fairer way to do business for customers, workers, society and the environment.

Deloitte

Stephen Griggs, Deputy UK CEO, Deloitte:

“We’re excited to be a founding member of the Good Business Charter, a movement to inspire and motivate good business practices. Being inclusive – in every sense of the word – really matters if you want to be a responsible business. This is a key focus for how Deloitte works with clients, supports its 18,000 people, and contributes to communities across the UK.”

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.

London City Airport

Elise John-Lewis, Head of Sustainability and Community Relations:

“We are delighted to be one of the first businesses to adopt the Good Business Charter. We were the first UK airport to be both London Living Wage accredited and recognised by the Mayor of London’s Good Work Standard. The Charter further demonstrates our commitment to creating a good place to work which is sustainable, inclusive, and community-focussed.”

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.

CBI

Josh Hardie, CBI Deputy Director General:

“The CBI is delighted to support the Good Business Charter. Companies up and down the country are doing great things to support their employees, customers and the environment, with many aspiring to do more.

“The Good Business Charter provides a simple and effective way for some firms to demonstrate that they are a force for good by improving engagement and sharing prosperity.”

Cascade Productions

While the focus is often on big business and London, we are among many small companies in the regions who believe that good business practice should be the norm. We are proud to be accredited by the Good Business Charter. It is good business to make a profit but it should be good business to be good too. Many of the components of the Good Business Charter have been core to our ways of working for years which is not always easy when we are producing conference and events throughout the UK and beyond.. The availability of a register of GBC accredited businesses will make it easier to find like-minded companies in our supply chain and further improve the way we work, take care of people and further reduce our environmental impact.
