The Lucre Group has received accreditation to the Good Business Charter.
The award recognises Lucre’s dedication to doing business in a socially responsible way, including paying the Real Living Wage, having working practices which support employees work-life balance, ensuring prompt payment to suppliers and minimizing it’s impact on the environment.
Good Business Charter accreditation (GBC) seeks to raise the bar on business practices. It measures business behaviour over ten categories: real living wage, fair hours and contracts, employee well-being, employee representation, diversity and inclusion, environmental responsibility, paying fair taxes, commitment to customers, ethical sourcing and prompt payment to suppliers.
To receive the accreditation, an organisation must meet all ten commitments. Since the pandemic, Lucre has introduced a number of wellbeing policies including holiday flexibility, sabbaticals and flex Fridays.
These have been hugely popular, vastly improving employee well-being, work-life balance and productivity.
Lucre is also committed to creating a happy and inclusive working environment and has recently been awarded the Great Place To Work certification.
When the team were asked about inclusivity, more than 90 per cent said Lucre cares about everyone (91 per cent), and all are treated fairly regardless of their race (97 per cent), gender (97 per cent) or sexual orientation (97 per cent).
Whilst delighted with the external recognition received to date, the Lucre Group will continue to look for new ways to strengthen how it supports its team, clients and the wider community.
