Merchr has been recognised for its responsible business practices. The company, which has its offices and production facility in Middleton, Greater Manchester, and a marketing and development team in Elstree, has attained accreditation under the Good Business Charter.
The Good Business Charter is awarded to companies which satisfy 10 components – paying the real living wage, fairer hours and contracts, employee wellbeing and representation, diversity and inclusion, environmental responsibility, paying fair tax, commitment to customers, ethical sourcing and prompt payment.
It’s an initiative of the Good Business Foundation, an independent, not-for-profit organisation, which launched the Charter in 2020. Its founder members included Capita, Deloitte, Richer Sounds, Brompton Bicycles and London City Airport. More recently, companies such as TSB and Aviva have signed up to the Charter.
Sarah O’Donovan, Merchr’s brand and marketing coordinator, said: “The Good Business Charter covers a wide range of areas which are important to Merchr and, as a start-up, we wanted to demonstrate to our users and stakeholders our commitment to good practices within the business.
“This accreditation will help to attract users who prioritise ethical and sustainable practices in the businesses they support, while at the same time ensuring we remain accountable.
“Furthermore, being part of a community of other like-minded businesses when it comes to values and mission, we feel Merchr can learn from others’ experiences.”
