The Watford Business Pledge recognizes businesses in Watford that commit to social responsibility, with five core areas: strong employment practices, local hiring, community focus, supporting local suppliers, and sustainability. Businesses can join at three levels—Supporter, Member, or Ambassador—based on their progress and impact.

Participating in the pledge enhances brand reputation, employee satisfaction, recruitment, and appeal to investors. Resources on the Watford Link Up platform support businesses with examples and guidance to meet these commitments.

To join, businesses submit an application detailing their work in each area. For more information, reach out to Watford Borough Council here
