Being a ‘Good Business’ should come as standard, right?

Well, we certainly believe so. And no, we’re talking in terms of profit and loss or revenue generation.

We’re talking about The Good Business Charter (GBC) – an amazing accreditation that champions best business practices across employees, tax, the environment, customers and suppliers.

Why would you not want to publicly showcase that you’re dedicated to being a Good Business and proud to show that off?

Why would any business not be chomping at the bit to prove and evidence they’re do things properly and treat everyone fairly?

Here at Audax, we most certainly are!

Ever proud to be one of the first businesses to adopt such a commitment 5 years ago, and keen to spread the word as they celebrate their 5th birthday 🎂, so more ambitious companies sign up to commit to acting as a responsible business, following ethical practices.

This accreditation operates across all companies and all industries and sectors in the UK with behaviour measured over 10 components, which any business awarded the certification must meet:

Real living wage
Fairer hours and contracts
Employee well-being
Employee representation
Diversity and inclusion
Environmental responsibility
Paying fair tax
Commitment to customers
Ethical sourcing
Prompt payment


In a world where people pay closer attention to who they work for and the way they operate as a business, this is a badge which every business should strive to wear on their shirts.

Audax will always remain a proud member of The Good Business Charter, honoured to showcase responsible business practices – and we encourage you to do the same!
