DATA HIT is now Good Business Charter accredited
DATA HIT has been awarded Good Business Charter accreditation, meeting all 10 of the charter's requirements for responsible business practice.
DATA HIT has been awarded Good Business Charter (GBC) accreditation. The GBC is a UK-wide accreditation that recognises organisations meeting a defined set of standards across 10 areas of responsible business practice.
What the Good Business Charter covers
The charter was developed in collaboration with the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), the Trades Union Congress (TUC), and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). Accreditation requires meeting the standard across all 10 components, which makes it an all-or-nothing commitment rather than a pick-and-choose exercise.
The 10 components are:
- Real living wage
- Fairer hours and contracts
- Employee wellbeing
- Employee representation
- Diversity and inclusion
- Environmental responsibility
- Paying fair tax
- Commitment to customers
- Ethical sourcing
- Prompt payment
Accredited businesses must pay the real living wage as set by the Living Wage Foundation, apply fair approaches to zero-hours contracts, follow the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code for sourcing, and sign the government's Prompt Payment Code.
Why this matters
When choosing a partner for analytics, tracking, or data services, it is reasonable to consider how that business operates beyond its technical output. The GBC accreditation gives clients, partners, and prospective employees a verifiable reference point for how DATA HIT conducts itself across areas like pay, working conditions, environmental impact, and supplier relationships.
