As a care-driven and people-focused consultancy, at Arrimo our values and ideals are at the heart of everything we do. So we are proud to announce our wholehearted commitment to the Better Business Act, a proposed piece of legislation making it compulsory for UK companies to take ownership of their social and environmental impact. As a business that has always strived for ethical excellence, we recognise the importance of aligning our operations with the principles outlined in this groundbreaking legislation.
What is the Better Business Act?
The Better Business Act, designed to promote a more responsible and sustainable approach to business, seeks to redefine the purpose of corporations. Rather than focusing solely on maximising shareholder profit, the Act encourages companies to prioritise the interests of a wider range of stakeholders, including employees, customers, communities, and the environment.
How Arrimo is taking action
Arrimo has long been passionate about socially responsible business practices. Since our inception, we have emphasised the importance of sustainability, transparency, and ethical conduct in all our operations. Our commitment to the Better Business Act is a natural extension of these principles.
One of the key components of the Better Business Act is the requirement for businesses to consider the environmental and social impact of their decisions. Arrimo is fully supportive of this aspect and is already taking concrete steps to reduce our carbon footprint and support the communities in which we operate.
Our pledge to the Better Business Act
Our pledge to the Better Business Act includes the following commitments:
- Environmental Sustainability: Arrimo will continue to invest in eco-friendly practices, reduce waste, and work towards achieving carbon neutrality.
- Stakeholder Engagement: We will actively engage with our employees, customers, and local communities to ensure their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed.
- Ethical Leadership: Arrimo's leadership team will uphold the highest ethical standards, promoting a culture of honesty, integrity, and accountability within the organisation.
- Local Social Responsibility: We will contribute to the betterment of society by supporting local charities and community initiatives.
- Transparency: Arrimo will maintain transparency in its financial reporting and corporate governance, fostering trust among stakeholders.
A business of the future
We believe that by embracing the principles of the Better Business Act, Arrimo can set a positive example for our industry and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future. Our commitment to this legislation reflects our dedication to doing business in a way that not only benefits our shareholders but also our employees, customers, communities, and the planet.
We invite all businesses to join us in this noble endeavour to redefine the purpose of corporations, making a collective commitment to a brighter, more sustainable future for all. Together, we can build a world where business is a force for good, and Arrimo is proud to be leading the charge
