Today we’ve published the first version of our guide for how we define and verify good companies to appear on our forthcoming platform. Transparency is a key characteristic of good business and we are all about practising what we preach. 

There are a lot of ways to be a good company. This is what makes them unique, but it also means they are harder to find.

For us, good companies encompass all businesses and organisations who are applying entrepreneurial spirit to tackle the environmental and societal challenges we face in the world today.

They are actively trying to make things better for our planet, and all those who live here, and have those principles embedded in their service and business practices. They are driven by a purpose and believe that business isn’t just there to make money. 

Our guide sets out in more detail exactly what we look for, who we are working with to verify our listings and the process we go through.

We are genuinely committed to continuing to develop both our criteria and our platform in collaboration with others and would welcome any feedback or suggestions. 

you can read the guide here and we’d  love to hear your thoughts. You can contact us at hello@ingoodcompany.org.uk.

We’re always on the lookout for more partners and good businesses, so if you know of any we should connect with please introduce us too.
