Electric Accountancy is proud to be one of the first Accountancy practices in the UK, and the very first in the East Midlands to be accredited by the Good Business Charter. We join companies such as St James’s Place Wealth Management, TSB Bank and The Association of International Accountants.
The Good Business Charter recognises organisations which prioritise and care for their employees, the environment, customers and suppliers, whilst also paying their taxes according to the spirit of the law. The GBC and its members seek to inspire other businesses to follow suit.
The Good Business Charter has the support of both the CBI and the TUC which both have trustee representation on its board. Other partners of the GBC include the Living Wage Foundation and the Prompt Payment Code.
Chairman of the GBC board, Simon Fox, said:
“The Good Business Charter brings together 10 standards, most of which already exist, but in separate places. We have brought them together to give a coherent overall position for businesses to aspire to. We believe that the GBC has enormous potential to change business practice for good. We hope that because of its simplicity and cost effectiveness, it will quickly gain support.”
Rebecca Webster, Electric Accountancy Director said:
“The Good Business Charter aligns with how we treat employees, customers and suppliers and we support its aims wholeheartedly. We would encourage other businesses to join this charter – it’s a clear demonstration that a company cares about it’s impact on the world and not just about its profit.”
