AWO has been accredited with the Fair Tax Mark, the gold standard for businesses that pay the right amount of tax, in the right place, at the right time.

Paying tax is something to be proud of. It is a contribution to the public services and infrastructure that communities depend on. Since AWO's founding in 2020, we have sought to build a business that takes its obligations seriously — to clients, to staff, to society, and to the law itself.

The Fair Tax Mark independently verifies that a business's tax affairs are transparent and consistent with its public commitments — it is one of the few accreditations that holds companies to account on economic behaviour, not just environmental or social practice.

The Fair Tax Mark certifies that AWO:

* seeks to follow the spirit, as well as the letter of the law;
* shuns artificial and aggressive corporate tax avoidance; and
* communicates its corporate income tax position effectively.

Achieving the Fair Tax Mark is a expression of our values: a formal, independently verified commitment that our tax conduct reflects what we say we stand for. Our full Statement of Fair Tax Mark compliance includes more detail about the steps we've taken the commitments we've made.

It sits alongside other accreditations of our ethical business practice such as our B Corp status and participation in the World Land Trust's Carbon Balanced programme.

We are proud to join the growing number of businesses around the world demonstrating that responsible tax practice is both possible and good for business.
