Good Business Charter
An Initiative of The Good Business Foundation
The Good Business Charter provides accreditation for organisations in the UK that adhere, and are recognised for responsible business practices. Businesses wanting to be accredited have to show proof that they actively incorporate 10 behavioural components.
Measurable Components of Accreditation
Real Living Wage
Contracts/Fair Hours
Employee Well-Being
Employee Representation
Diversity/Inclusion
Responsibility to Environment
Fair Tax Payment
Customer Commitment
Ethical Sourcing
Prompt Payment
Organisational Behaviour
Each applicant to become a member of the charter has to evaluate the way it operates in relation to the ten aforementioned component areas. The growth of the charter, its recognition in the business sector will make it difficult for non-compliant businesses, charities, and public sector organisations to operate smoothly outside the business practice framework. With more organisations receiving accreditation annually, the opportunity for public recognition and reward continues to increase.
Whistle-Blowing
The GBC has a section on their site that invites employees, customers, and suppliers the opportunity to report organisations that are failing to meet the business practices/obligations that are required to be maintained for accreditation.

Sadly quite a number of retired peoples are throwing away a lot of money through underperforming investments, savings accounts and undermanaged pension pots.
