It is free to become a TRUST charity signatory; all they need from you is your logo for their website and an unwritten agreement:
“We fully support the ongoing work of TRUST to raise standards among merchants trading in used goods and commit to only trading with TRUST-certified merchants wherever possible.”
You can be assured that all TRUST certified traders have gone through an audit process carried out by an independent auditor, covering: sound business, health and safety, working conditions, transport and environment. TRUST has the full support of the Charity Retail Association and Circular Communities Scotland.
If you are interested in signing up, TRUST will provide you with details of the traders you can contact so you can speak to them independently to discuss your business needs. You can also contact us at the Charity Retail Association or Circular Communities Scotland.
Please refer to the TRUST website for more information or contact the TRUST Administrator by email on info@trustmerchants.org.uk.
