BELFOR UK PRAISED FOR RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES BY THE GOOD BUSINESS CHARTER
BELFOR UK – the leading disaster recovery firm – is now a member of the Good Business Charter, which recognises UK companies that are leading the way in responsible business practices.
Following a detailed assessment, BELFOR UK is now an accredited member of the Good Business Charter, demonstrating its commitment to responsible business to customers, employees and stakeholders.
The Good Business Charter is an independent organisation, working with companies to benchmark ‘good business’. To receive accreditation, BELFOR UK had to meet 10 components, covering care for employees, suppliers, customers, and the environment.
The Good Business Charter commits organisations to:
- Pay the real living wage.
- Offer fairer hours and contracts.
- Champion employee wellbeing.
- Employ employee representation.
- Deliver equality, diversity, and inclusion.
- Commit to an environmental policy.
- Pay fair tax.
- Deliver a commitment to customers.
- Commit to the standards set out in the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code.
- Prompt payments to suppliers.
With research showing that 97% of people think it is important that a business acts responsibly*, the accreditation comes at a great time for BELFOR UK.
Hein Hemke, Managing Director at BELFOR UK, says: “Customers are increasingly looking for corporate partners that operate in a sustainable and responsible way, to help them meet their own environmental, social and governance ambitions. Our Good Business Charter accreditation not only demonstrates our commitment to responsible business practices, but also holds us accountable for making continuous improvements to our behaviour. This gives our customers and partners confidence in our operations and is testament to the hard work and dedication of our teams across the country.”
