The 10 Components

The application process is simple and accessible. To receive GBC accreditation, organisations must meet the requirements for all 10 components (or 9 for public and third sector organisations). Each year, organisations are required to recommit to the components.  

For more information on each component, click the icons below. If you’re not sure if you meet one of our requirements or need further guidance, contact our Accreditation team

The Application process 

Below, you’ll find the questions you’ll be asked during the accreditation process. For organisations with up to 50 employees, we have collaborated with the Federation of Small Businesses to develop a streamlined version.

Becoming accredited 

The application takes less than an hour to complete, and our team aims to process applications within 10 working days. Once accredited, organisations are required to display their GBC-accreditation logo prominently on their website and promote their accreditation internally and externally. Through our Resource Hub, you gain access to practical tools and guidance to celebrate your commitment, embed the GBC principles across your organisation, and inspire others to follow your lead.
