Day One Joins the Good Business Charter
Day One is delighted to announce that it has joined companies such as Aviva, TSB and Schroders Personal Wealth, in signing up to the Good Business Charter (GBC), an accreditation that seeks to raise the bar on business practices for employees, tax, the environment, customers and suppliers.
The Good Business Charter is an important initiative that promotes ethical business practices and responsible behaviour in the corporate world. By joining the Good Business Charter, Day One is making a commitment to upholding these principles and setting a positive example for other companies to follow.
The Good Business Charter sets high standards for businesses in areas such as employee well-being, fair pay, environmental sustainability, and transparency. It recognizes the importance of operating ethically and responsibly, not just for the benefit of the company itself, but for the wider society and economy as well.
By adhering to the Good Business Charter, Day One is demonstrating its dedication to creating a positive impact in the business world and contributing to a more sustainable and ethical future.
It has never been more important for businesses to build trust and show that they care about more than just profit. Therefore, the GBC and its members seek to inspire many other businesses to follow suit. As Day One helps businesses ‘Hire Better’ they work globally to provide access to emerging digital talent whilst removing the bias from the hiring process.
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.”
Day One's CEO, Ricky Doyle, stated: "We are very happy to be part of the GBC and show our support for the 10 elements of the Charter. This is a wonderful chance for us to collaborate with others to advance ethical business practices and demonstrate how much we care about our customers, colleagues, suppliers and the environment. At Day One we help you ‘hire better’ which helps businesses hire the best verified digital talent for their business so you know they are ‘day one’ ready. We do this through fair hiring practices that enables businesses make hiring decisions based on the skills and values of an individual- something that resonated with the GBC and its members code of standards.”

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.
The Good Business Charter is an initiative of the Good Business Foundation, charity number 1186547, company number 12278437.
