Responsible Organisation Charter

The Responsible Organisation Charter (ROC)(c) was originally called the Ethical Wheel of Success but we feel the name more accurately reflects what we want to achieve with this. Our goal is to encourage organisations of all types be they companies, charities or public sector to sign up to the Charter to show their commitment to acting in a responsible manner.

We believe that just like the parable if you build an organisation on a firm foundation, a ROC(c) you can have a secure future. The 15 key elements are grouped into five areas:

Leadership - Creating a business that will succeed without you

Shared values - guiding principles for everyone’s behaviour

A clear vision - an inspirational future

Action Focused - Creating a sense of urgency

Culture - How we do things round here

Adaptable - creating a flexible culture

Pioneer Learning - Breaking new ground

Collaborative - 1+1=3

Relationships - Developing a win-win attitude

Treat Staff Well - creating a happy workforce

Treat Suppliers Fairly - for good value and service

Good Citizen - helping the wider community

Product Offering - translating your vision and values into reality

Life Changing - making a difference to people’s lives

Reliably Consistent - the same every time

Minimising Environmental Impact - ensuring a neutral carbon footprint

Financial success - ensure profits, results and sustainability

An Identifiable Market Niche - stand out from the crowd

Innovative Growth - keeping up with change

Sustainable Profit - guaranteeing the future

We hope our book will be published later this year which will explain in detail each element of the Charter. We can help you audit where you are on the ROC and implement an action plan. Contact us to find out more.
