Autrix is delighted to announce that we have officially been accepted into the Good Business Charter (GBC). Becoming a member has always been our goal, reflecting our commitment to ethical business practices and responsible behaviour.

What is the Good Business Charter?

The Good Business Charter is an accreditation program created by the Good Business Foundation. It was designed to promote and recognise responsible business practices across all industries.

It provides a standard for evaluating corporate responsibility, which is vital for anyone involved in ethical business practices. Essentially, it’s about ensuring that businesses are good.

By joining, we are committing to following best business practices that will impact us, our employees, and our clients. Following the Good Business Charter’s principles will also allow us to continue supporting our local communities and driving change within the many industries we work with.

How do you join the Good Business Charter?

To be accredited by the GBC, your business must meet criteria based on ten components that form responsible practices. This is to ensure that all aspects of your business are taken into account, including:

• Fair employee pay

• Employee well-being

• Fairer hours and contracts

• Employee representation

• Equality, diversity and inclusion

• Environmental responsibility

• Paying fair taxes

• Commitment to customers

• Ethical sourcing

• Prompt payment to suppliers

To become an official Good Business, you must complete an online evaluation, which is assessed before your membership can be granted. By joining, we have committed to consistently upholding these ten standards for everyone involved with Autrix.

Why Autrix has joined the Good Business Charter

Becoming a GBC member aligns with our work ethic and core values. We believe in developing products which will help businesses regardless of their size, as well as instigating change within the industry.

Commitment to Ethical Practices:

We have always believed in conducting our business with integrity and transparency. The GBC provides a recognised framework that aligns with our values, allowing us to demonstrate our commitment to ongoing ethical practices.

Environmental Responsibility:

The GBC’s focus on environmental responsibility aligns with our desire to strive for more environmentally focused practices within the industries we work with. This includes reducing our carbon footprint, promoting eco-friendly solutions in our operations and product offerings, and helping our clients follow suit.

Customer and Supplier Relationships:

The Good Business Charter’s criteria for customer commitment and ethical sourcing align with our goals of providing high-quality service and maintaining transparent, fair dealings with all our partners. This is nothing new for us, but we value being officially accredited for keeping this commitment.

Community and Social Impact:

Autrix is dedicated to making a positive impact on the communities we serve. The GBC’s approach to responsible business practices helps us ensure that we operate in a manner that benefits society as a whole.

Supporting Our Employees:

Ensuring the well-being of our employees has always been important to us. The GBC’s emphasis on fair pay, employee well-being, and representation supports our efforts to create a workplace built on collaboration.

Adhering to these standards, we aim to foster a positive work environment that promotes personal and professional growth. We know that by doing this internally, we can help the businesses we work with do the same.

Monitoring and enforcement

The Good Business Charter maintains high standards through rigorous monitoring and enforcement measures. By becoming a registered member, we commit to a lifetime of transparency and accountability.

This is something which will continue to drive how we run our company and support yours for years to come. We have big plans for the future and this is one way in which we know we will achieve them.

Impact and benefits

Being GBC accredited brings numerous benefits. It promotes fair wages, ethical sourcing, and prompt payments, which collectively contribute to a positive business environment.

We hope that by showing you our commitment to ethical practices, we can inspire everyone we work with to do the same.

Goals and vision

The Good Business Charter aims to create a fairer society by encouraging businesses to adopt responsible practices and promote transparency. For Autrix, becoming a member is a way to show our commitment to these values and ensure our growth and success are built on integrity and responsibility.

By embracing the GBC’s principles, Autrix aims to lead by example, foster a more sustainable and equitable business environment, and contribute to a better society.
