The Penny Group joins national movement to raise the bar for responsible business
Recognised for its commitment to responsible business, TPG has achieved Good Business Charter (GBC) accreditation, joining a fast-growing movement of organisations raising the standard across the UK.
At a time when headlines often focus on corporate wrongdoing, the GBC provides a way to recognise and support the organisations that prioritises doing the right thing - not only in what it delivers, but in how it operates behind the scenes.
Founded by Julian Richer and developed with the Confederation of British Industry, Trades Union Congress and Federation of Small Businesses, the Good Business Charter brings together the interests of people, business, and society to set a benchmark for responsible business in the UK.
By achieving GBC accreditation, The Penny Group has demonstrated its commitment to employees, customers and wider stakeholders. It means fairer working conditions, a stronger commitment to employee inclusion and wellbeing, paying fair tax and reducing its impact on the environment.
Ashwin Gopaul Operations Director at The Penny Group said:
"We’re proud to be accredited by the Good Business Charter. This milestone reflects our dedication to upholding the highest ethical standards in all our operations and we urge other businesses to follow suit by embracing responsible practices that benefit business and society."
About the Good Business Charter
The Good Business Charter was developed, and is overseen by, the Good Business Foundation, an independent charity established in 2019 by entrepreneur Julian Richer.
The Charter is a simple accreditation which organisations in the UK can sign up to in recognition of responsible business practices.
It measures behaviour over ten components (nine for charities and public sector): real living wage; fairer hours and contracts; employee well-being; employee representation; equality, diversity and inclusion; environmental responsibility; paying fair tax; commitment to customers; ethical sourcing, and prompt payment. An organisation must meet all ten components (nine for charities and public sector) to receive GBC accreditation.
It is open to private sector, public sector and charities of all sizes including a streamlined version for organisations with 50 employees or fewer.
