Good Business Charter accreditation is a simple and effective way to show customers, employees and other stakeholders that your business acts responsibly.

Accreditation process

The Good Business Charter accredits organisations that meet the requirements for all ten good business components (9 for public or third-sector organisations).

While committing to the Good Business Charter’s components is a considerable achievement, the accreditation process is easy. 

It is completely free, open to all organisations (including third sector & sole traders), takes less than an hour to complete and organisations can receive accreditation within a week.

1. Confirm you are committed to the Good Business Charter’s components.

2. Share short examples of how your organisation puts the Good Business Charter components into practice.

 
3. Put the GBC accredition stamp on your website and celebrate your accreditation with your customers and colleagues.
