The UK’s benchmark for responsible business
With 97% of the public wanting businesses to act responsibly, Good Business Charter accreditation is an effective way to demonstrate your commitment to responsible business practices and drive the public to you door!
The standard the public wants
Developed by entrepreneur Julian Richer alongside the CBI, TUC and FSB, the Good Business Charter (GBC) sets the benchmark for responsible business in the UK.
The GBC provides free accreditation to all organisations that behave responsibly across all ten components. When people see the GBC accreditation logo, they know the organisation is genuinely committed to good business practices.
Too few organisations meet all ten components. The Good Business Charter and our partners champion those that do, making it easier for the public to know which businesses to buy from and work with.
Does your business meet the mark? Show your customers and colleagues you’re a good business with GBC accreditation.
Why responsible organisations perform better
Behaving responsibly isn’t just good for society – it’s good for business. Treating people well brings huge benefits to your business with savings in recruitment and training, better productivity with a highly engaged workforce, excellence in customer service which in turn fosters loyal customers and so much more.
