Accreditation process
Our aim is to recognise and celebrate every organisation in the UK that meets the requirements for all ten Good Business Charter components (or nine for public or third-sector organisations).
If your organisation meets all of the components, you should be rightly proud and get the recognition you deserve.
Committing to all the Good Business Charter components is a considerable achievement, so we make the application process simple. Accreditation is completely free, open to all organisations and the application takes less than an hour to complete. Organisations typically receive accreditation within a week.
1. Answers yes to the questions that confirm your commitment to the Good Business Charter’s components.
2. Share a few short examples of how your organisation puts the components into practice.
