We’re proud to announce that we’ve been awarded the Fair Tax Mark again, marking our 11th consecutive year of accreditation since 2015.
Awarded by the Fair Tax Foundation, this accreditation recognises businesses that pay the right amount of corporation tax, in the right place, at the right time, and who demonstrate a transparent, responsible approach to tax.
Our continued commitment to responsible tax conduct is closely aligned with our Transform & Grow strategy. Fair tax plays a key role in how we operate transparently and creates long-term value for our stakeholders as we build a stronger, more sustainable business.
Mark Williams, Director of Group Finance at Marshalls, said:
“We’re pleased to have been reaccredited with the Fair Tax Mark again this year. Responsible tax conduct is a core part of how we do business, and the annual accreditation process gives us the opportunity to reflect on our approach and identify where we can keep improving. It’s a rigorous process and that makes the accreditation even more meaningful. It helps us show stakeholders – from Marshalls’ employees and customers to investors – that we’re serious about transparency and good governance.”
The reaccreditation follows Fair Tax Week, which took place from 8–15 June. This UK-wide celebration shines a spotlight on organisations that are proud to pay their fair share of tax and highlights the important role tax plays in funding vital public services and supporting communities.
Tom Skinner, Chief Operating Officer at the Fair Tax Foundation, said:
“The Fair Tax Foundation is dedicated to recognising and celebrating businesses that demonstrate a strong commitment to responsible tax conduct, and never more so than during our annual Fair Tax Week. We’re delighted to celebrate Marshalls as one of our longest-standing Fair Tax Mark certified businesses. Their commitment to responsible tax policy sets a powerful example for others, and their decade-long support demonstrates a deep commitment to ethical business.”
Paying fair tax is an important part of running a responsible business, and maintaining the Fair Tax Mark is a demonstration of our commitment to this and our wider sustainability strategy. You can find out more about our commitment to sustainability here.
