Payroll giving platform GoodPAYE has been B Corp certified after meeting the award scheme’s standards for its social and environmental impact.

It joins a global community of more than 9,500 B Corp organisations. Of these 2,400 are based in the UK.

GoodPAYE is the first UK payroll giving organisation to join the UK B Corp Community.

“This is a defining moment for GoodPAYE and for the Payroll Giving sector as a whole,” said GoodPAYE chief executive Tony Charalambides.

“Businesses are increasingly looking for meaningful ways to align with social and environmental values, and Payroll Giving is one of the most effective ways to achieve that.

“Our B Corp certification reinforces Payroll Giving as a key element of responsible business, ensuring more companies and employees engage with it to create real impact.”

Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab, which runs the B Corp scheme, added: “We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes as part of our community – from startups to multinationals and across many different industries.

“Business is a powerful force and B Corps demonstrate that positive impact is possible in any sector. Welcoming GoodPAYE is an exciting moment for the Payroll Giving industry.

“B Lab UK and the rest of the B Corp community are really pleased that GoodPAYE is paving the way for a new way of doing things.”
