The Good Business Festival: top 10 do good to do’s

Last month, we went to The Good Business Festival and at each session, the speakers were invited to share a positive action for the audience to take away. Our friends at The Good Business Festival shared a round-up of their top 10 do good to do’s and we thought it was the perfect thing to share with our followers.

Top 10 do good to do’s:

1. Sign up to the Fair Employment Charter
2. Sign up to the Better Business Act — James Ghaffari, B Lab UK
3. Read the One-Day report which looks at LCR investment in female-led industries
4. Research and implement one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals — Jessica Lobo, UN Global Compact Network UK
5. Join 6% and Rising in creating 100 paid employment positions across Liverpool City Region for individuals with learning difficulties — Harry Georgiou, 6% and Rising
6. Follow your money and be conscious of where you put it — what are your bank, suppliers, pension provider doing to be ethical and sustainable? If it’s not enough, change.
7. Act with intent — reject single-use items — use and carry reusable items, buy locally from independent and social businesses, shop second-hand, walk or ride a bike where possible.
8. Use your voice — write to your local MP’s, local authorities and favourite brands to demand the change you want to see. — Beth Thoren, Patagonia
9. Do the little things — incremental changes. They’re the things that are easy to do; but that also means that they’re the things that are easy to not do — Steven Bartlett, Co-Founder of Social Chain
10. Next time someone tells you you can’t do something innovative, think about why you’re being told that, and do it anyway… — Neil Atkinson, The Anfield Wrap
