Good Business Charter

The University of Bedfordshire has been successful to achieve a Good Business Charter accreditation in 2024. The University is currently one of only a few business schools to have achieved this accreditation. The accreditation is a way for us to demonstrate that we are an organization with a strong foundation in ethical practices, transparency, and responsible decision-making. The GBC serves as an important benchmark for us to implement our values as an organization, and it can enhance each employee's moral ethics. We, as educators of the future, are responsible for promoting ethical leadership, nurturing inclusive businesses, and helping to create a fairer society. Collaborating with the Foundation allows us to gain knowledge from each other.
