We are delighted to hear today news that the Prompt Payment Code is to be strengthened and that from July signatories will have to pay suppliers with 50 employees or fewer within 30 days rather than the 60 days currently established. Having worked with the FSB (Federation of Small Businesses) over the past few months […]
We were delighted to read in the Yorkshire Post about how one of our members has adapted to the pandemic by repurposing itself from making pizzas to to Yorkshire Handmade Pies. We wanted to highlight this responsible business on our website also. Sturdy Foods lost 95% of their turnover almost overnight when the hospitality industry […]
It is so important to not just pay this lip-service. This is about genuinely leaning in to hear what employees have to say. I wonder how many times a consultant has waltzed in (or even the auditors) and made suggestions for change and when management implements them, the employees think: “Yes, we could have told you that […]
At the Good Business Charter we recognise there is significant overlap between seeking to do business responsibly and being employee-owned. We are excited to have 100% employee-owned Jerba Campervans Ltd as one of our founder members and recently caught up with Jerba’s co-founder and Director Simon Poole. Jerba Campervans started in 2006 with the conversion […]
Wouldn’t it be great to see the building societies flood the Good Business Charter membership? This was a comment at a webinar I did for building society Chief Execs at the end of last month about why they should consider Good Business Charter accreditation. As a sector that does not have its own specific accreditation, […]
We are delighted to be partnering with the Good Business Festival in a time where it has never been more important to shine a light on business purpose and conscious capitalism. As part of their Act One on October 8th, we have contributed a podcast to their OpenSource to complement what is said by speakers […]
Paying suppliers on time matters. It is particularly important in this pandemic as more businesses than ever are seeing their cashflow squeezed. Suppliers are people, with their own bills to pay and staff to support. This is why the Prompt Payment Code (PPC) is one of our 10 components – care for suppliers counts. The […]
When we designed the Good Business Charter we wanted to ensure that any organisation that cared about responsible business was in a position to sign up. We recognise the hugely important role that charities play in our society and the fact that donors care not just about the final beneficiaries of a charity but about […]
At the start of the summer I ‘met’ with Emma Stewart of Timewise which is a flexible working consultancy. As someone who has worked from home, flexibly, for the last ten years I can wax lyrical on the benefits it brings, not only personally as a mother, but also to the charities I run. There […]
The Good Business Charter displays to customers, suppliers, employees and potential employees that members care about responsible business. Our vision is to see it become such a recognised brand in the UK that people who care about responsible business will look for it when they enter a shop or choose a job to apply for. […]
