“Becoming accredited by the Good Business Charter is more than just recognition of what we already do; it shapes how we move forward,” said David Mackay, co-CEO of Scarf.
“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.
