Local digital agency, Purple Creative Studio, has recently achieved the Good Business Charter (GBC) accreditation which recognises responsible business practices.
There are 10 areas that are scrutinised and evidential responses are registered online to confirm that you adhere to these standards.
These include:
- Real Living Wage
- Fairer Hours & Contracts
- Employee Well Being
- Employee Representation
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Environmental Responsibility
- Pay Fair Tax
- Commitment to Customers
- Ethical Sourcing
- Prompt Payment to Suppliers
Office Manager, Amanda Winstanley, said: "We felt that, as a business that actively works hard to provide a happy, friendly and professional service for both our customers, suppliers and employees, we were a good fit for working towards this award."
We looked at each component and scrutinised our practices; we were able to provide a list of how we felt we met the criteria and were able to describe the processes that enabled us to do this effectively. The results were shared with other members of the team to ensure everyone felt included and it also ensured we were being honest about our business and how we operate.
We are now part of a growing community that has an extremely insightful benchmark for customers, current and potential employees and suppliers which demonstrates our commitment to taking business seriously and acting in the best interests of all stakeholders.
