Spend your hard-earned cash with confidence, support good business behaviour and help tackle some of the biggest injustices in society.
We all want businesses to do the right thing
Most of us don’t want to support companies that dodge taxes, harm the planet or underpay workers while executives get big bonuses.
Organisations are never going to tell you they fall short. Some companies wax lyrical about their responsible business practices, but they don’t do it all.
That’s where the Good Business Charter comes in
The Good Business Charter is the UK’s benchmark for responsible business. We accredit organisations that act responsibly across all 10 components of good business behaviour, helping you find good businesses to buy from and work with.
