Thank you for showing interest in signing up to the Scottish Business Pledge.

The Business Pledge is a values-led partnership between the Scottish Government and business that aims to boost productivity and competitiveness through fairness, equality and sustainable employment. It’s completely free and voluntary to join. Companies making the Scottish Business Pledge commit to supporting sustainable business practices in Scotland and to treating their employees, customers and suppliers with respect.

We’ll be in touch with more information within 5 working days.

Why is the Scottish Business Pledge good for business?

By committing to a number of different Pledge elements, each company that makes the Scottish Business Pledge is promoting fairness, equality, opportunity and innovation.

This, in turn, supports sustainable business growth in Scotland by reducing inequality and boosting productivity.

The Scottish Business Pledge is good for business and good for Scotland.

Treating your employees fairly and with respect has real business benefits.

Here's how fulfilling the core Business Pledge elements could contribute to your future business success:

Paying the real Living Wage - this is at the heart of the Scottish Business Pledge. Decent pay improves productivity and staff retention;

No inappropriate use of zero hours contracts - offering guaranteed working hours increases commitment and reduces staff turnover;

Action to address the Gender Pay Gap - taking action to address the gap in overall pay levels between men and women, known as the Gender Pay Gap, ensures a more committed workforce.

Extending fairness and respect to suppliers and customers, as advocated by the Pledge, shows your business in a favourable light and generates goodwill - which usually translates to sales. By encouraging companies to support sustainable business practice, the Scottish Business Pledge simultaneously helps them to improve their bottom line.

The real Living Wage - one of the core Business Pledge elements.

Paying the real Living Wage can provide hugely positive benefits for employers by increasing commitment and loyalty from employees, and for employees it helps to provide security and build self-worth while improving standards of living.

Research from the Living Wage Foundation shows that when the Living Wage is introduced:

Absenteeism falls by 25%;

80% of employees believe their work improves in quality;

66% of employers report a significant impact on recruitment and retention;

70% of employers report increased consumer awareness of their commitment to be an ethical employer.

Business success is based on fairness. Ensuring employees are able to earn a wage that allows them a reasonable standard of living is key to helping them provide for their families, build self-worth and create a better sense of purpose. Decent pay delivers a more loyal, committed workforce with higher productivity, and a better standard of living buoys consumer markets.

The Scottish Business Pledge core elements.

To make your Scottish Business Pledge you should first confirm you already meet the core elements of:

1.

Paying the real Living Wage
Providing decent pay can have a hugely positive impact. It increases employee loyalty and commitment and helps to build confidence and self-worth.

From a business perspective, research conducted by the Living Wage Foundation reveals that employees who pay the real Living Wage believe it has enhanced the quality of the work of their staff.

2.

No inappropriate use of zero hours contracts
Offering guaranteed working hours increases commitment and reduces staff turnover.

Evidence indicates that inappropriate use of zero hours contracts corrodes trust in the workplace – often putting fear and financial insecurity where fairness and mutual confidence should flourish. This can damage performance and productivity.

3.

Action to address the Gender Pay Gap
The Gender Pay Gap is a measure of the difference between male and female employees’ average hourly earnings and is expressed as a percentage of male earnings.

Taking positive action to reduce the gap in overall pay between men and women and improving gender equality in the workplace is beneficial to your business. It ensure that you attract and retain the best talent, and improves your performance and profitability.
