What is the Good Business Charter?

The Good Business Charter is a widely respected accreditation in the UK that recognises businesses that adhere to high ethical standards across a range of areas, including employee care, environmental responsibility, transparency in tax practices, and customer care. To become accredited, a business must meet ten key principles set by the GBC, which were designed to inspire fair, transparent, and sustainable business practices across industries.

The Good Business Charter’s mission is to encourage businesses to lead by example, promoting responsible behaviour that has a positive impact not only within the company but also within the larger community. By joining this initiative, Wrexham Chauffeurs has committed to living up to these standards every day, ensuring we are a business that clients, employees, and our community can trust and rely on.

Why GBC Accreditation Matters

The GBC accreditation aligns with our core beliefs at Wrexham Chauffeurs. For us, this recognition is about much more than meeting standards; it’s about striving for excellence in all we do. We believe in treating people—our clients, our employees, and our suppliers—with the respect, fairness, and care they deserve. This accreditation formalises those values, showing our commitment to fostering a sustainable, people-centric approach to business.

Being a part of the Good Business Charter community holds us accountable to our values and encourages us to continually improve. From ensuring fair wages to protecting the environment, each GBC standard represents a commitment to a better, more responsible way of doing business. We’re thrilled to be part of this journey and to share it with you, our valued clients, who directly benefit from these high standards.

How Wrexham Chauffeurs Meets GBC Standards

To earn GBC accreditation, Wrexham Chauffeurs had to demonstrate our adherence to each of the following principles:

1. Real Living Wage

Paying a fair wage is essential to us. At Wrexham Chauffeurs, we pay all of our employees the Real Living Wage, as recommended by the Living Wage Foundation. This commitment ensures that our team members receive a fair, liveable wage, allowing them to provide for themselves and their families comfortably. We believe a team that feels valued and secure is better able to deliver the premium service our clients expect.

2. Fairer Hours and Contracts

We also uphold fair employment practices. By offering guaranteed hours and clear shift scheduling, we make sure our team has the stability they need. Unlike many companies that use zero-hours contracts, we ensure that our employees have a reliable, structured schedule they can count on. Our fair shift and cancellation policies further support this stability, creating a positive work environment.

3. Employee Well-being

Employee well-being is critical to our success, and we take it seriously. Wrexham Chauffeurs has policies in place to support team members through life’s challenges, including illness. Employees should never feel penalised for taking time off when genuinely unwell. By offering a supportive, respectful approach, we build a healthier, more reliable workforce that is ready to serve our clients to the highest standard.

4. Employee Representation

We believe that our employees should have a say in company decisions. Wrexham Chauffeurs has an open-door policy for worker representatives, ensuring that employees have a voice and can raise any concerns they may have. Engaging with our team in this way strengthens trust and fosters a collaborative, positive working environment.

5. Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)

Our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion is foundational. We track our EDI data to ensure that we are promoting a diverse workforce and addressing any areas for improvement. By nurturing a team from varied backgrounds, we create a more innovative, inclusive environment that reflects the diversity of our clients and community.

6. Environmental Responsibility

As a business operating in the beautiful region of North Wales, we feel a special responsibility to protect our natural surroundings. Our commitment to reducing our environmental impact includes choosing fuel-efficient vehicles, minimising waste, and continually seeking ways to be more eco-friendly. This environmental consciousness is a core part of who we are, and it aligns perfectly with the GBC’s standards.

7. Fair Tax Practices

Transparency in financial matters is a cornerstone of responsible business. Wrexham Chauffeurs is committed to paying our fair share of taxes and maintaining a straightforward, open relationship with HMRC. We believe in the importance of contributing to our community fairly and openly.

8. Commitment to Customers

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We regularly gather customer feedback to understand how we can continue to improve our service. This client-centric approach is reflected in our policies and our dedication to providing a high-quality, tailored experience that meets and exceeds expectations.

9. Ethical Sourcing

We carefully choose suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices. Wrexham Chauffeurs follows the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code, ensuring that every part of our supply chain aligns with fair and responsible practices. From vehicle suppliers to office essentials, we prioritise partners who share our values.

10. Prompt Payment to Suppliers

We recognise that prompt payment is crucial to small businesses and independent suppliers. By adhering to the Prompt Payment Code, Wrexham Chauffeurs supports the growth of our business network and fosters a reliable, trusting relationship with our suppliers.

What This Means for Our Clients

For our clients, this accreditation means peace of mind. Choosing a chauffeur service accredited by the GBC ensures that you are not only receiving top-quality service but also supporting a business that values integrity, respect, and responsibility. Wrexham Chauffeurs’ commitment to ethical practices enhances your experience by ensuring that every journey is managed by a team that cares deeply about its role in the community and its impact on the environment.

From the luxury of our vehicles to the professionalism of our team, we are focused on delivering an exceptional experience. Our commitment to GBC principles assures you that our service is grounded in respect—for our clients, our employees, and our shared environment.

Our Vision for a Responsible Future

The GBC accreditation is a milestone, but it’s also a call to action. At Wrexham Chauffeurs, we see this recognition as just the beginning of our journey towards a sustainable, ethical future. We are constantly exploring ways to improve our services, reduce our environmental footprint, and contribute positively to our community.

We encourage other businesses in North Wales to join us in pursuing GBC accreditation, promoting a culture of responsibility and respect across our beautiful region.
