Good Business Fortnight 2025

Good Business Fortnight web banner

Good Business Fortnight will take place from 3rd to 14th February 2025 and will bring together everyone who is passionate about responsible business practices.  

The awareness fortnight will celebrate the outstanding efforts of businesses across the UK in championing responsible practices and making a positive impact on society and the environment. 

But it’s more than just celebration; it’s a catalyst for change. By showcasing exemplary conduct, we aim to inspire and empower other businesses to embrace similar practices. Additionally, we strive to educate the public on what constitutes an ethical business and why responsible action matters. 

Join us in igniting a broader movement towards ethical business practices, paving the way for a fairer and more sustainable world. 

This year's GBC component Champions and Partners!

This year we’re excited to introduce our component Champions and Partners. These are organisations that showcase exceptional commitment to our principles. By working with them, we hope to inspire others by demonstrating the real-world impact of responsible business practices.
