MEMBER ZONE


LANDOWNER JOINS THE GBC


Courteenhall Farms has recently become a member of the Good Business Charter (GBC) which recognises and encourages good practice across all areas of business. Courteenhall Farms’ managing


partner, Johnny Wake, has been following the career of entrepreneur and GBC founder Julian Richer for many years, and in 2020 the arable operation embarked on the GBC self- accreditation process. Johnny said: “There are 10


components to commit to, which include paying suppliers on time, maintaining employee well-being and demonstrating environmental responsibility. While we were mindful of many of these already, having to prove we were adhering to them put us in a position where we needed to implement policies and ideas that had previously hovered on our to do list.” The list of GBC members is


diverse, but Courteenhall Farms is the first landowner to join. Landowners are in a unique position of being able to look


forward beyond 50 years and Courteenhall Farms wanted to apply the same long-term thinking to its business practices. Johnny


‘OUR CORE


added: “Our core values include sustainability, innovation and high standards, and we can only achieve these if we commit to the people that are instrumental in getting us there: our team members, suppliers and customers. “The GBC is encouraging and


forward thinking in assisting businesses of all shapes and sizes to become members and we look forward to the benefits of being part of their community.”
