The Good Business Charter measures organisations against ten key components of good business behaviour: 

• Paying the real Living Wage
• Providing fair hours and contracts
• Supporting employee well-being
• Enabling employee representation
• Promoting equality, diversity and inclusion
• Taking responsibility for environmental impact
• Paying fair tax
• Demonstrating commitment to customers
• Ensuring ethical sourcing
• Paying suppliers promptly

David Mackay, co-CEO of Scarf, said the organisation is proud to meet all ten commitments, reinforcing its long-standing values of fairness, transparency, and responsibility. 

“Becoming accredited by the Good Business Charter is more than just recognition of what we already do; it shapes how we move forward,” he added.  

“For over 40 years, we’ve supported communities and fought fuel poverty, and this accreditation reinforces our determination to do so fairly, responsibly, and sustainably. Looking ahead, we want Scarf to be known not just for the difference we make, but for how we make it.” 

With this accreditation, Scarf joins a growing movement of UK organisations leading the way in ethical business practices. For employees, customers, and partners, it provides independent assurance that Scarf puts people, communities, and the planet at the heart of its decision-making.
