You may be small but you drive the UK economy...

Sole traders, micro and small business can now pay monthly for CSR Accreditation.

There are approximately 5.6 million SMEs in the UK, accounting for over 99% of all UK businesses, 5.3 million of these are micro-businesses with under 10 employees like yours. At CSR-A we recognise that sole traders and micro business are the back-bone of the UK economy.

We recognise how vital you are and the great things you do. We want to provide you with independent validation for your socially responsible activity through our global CSR Accreditation scheme. For this reason we have introduced a monthly payment plan exclusively for sole traders, micro and small business. If your organisation has 20 employees or less then you can pay monthly, spreading the fee across our three year accreditation cycle. In addition to this we have an application process specifically tailored for micro and small business.
