We have dedicated driving programmes for us, the Methods team and our fellow colleagues across the John Good group. We donated £60,000 to nonprofit organisations across the year, allowing us and our colleagues to decide where it should be donated – take a look at the non-profit organisations we donated to in 2023.
Ensure a positive impact on the environment and society at the centre of all our choices.
We have a dedicated foundation – a proportion of the group’s profit covers the operations costs of the foundation. Meaning, for every £1 going into the donation > £1 will go out to a charitable cause.

Provide the best opportunity for personal and professional development.
The John Good Group Employee Giving Programme fuels our passion to deliver social impact and gives our people the rewarding experience of engaging directly with the charities they support. This is delivered in multiple ways, whether that’s through volunteering days and pro-bono work, to nominating small charities and projects to receive a donation.
Methods is a part of a group of companies that delivers profit with purpose.
John Good Group is a 191-year-old family business. As a result, it has seen enormous changes take place during that time, with a major focus on becoming operationally carbon neutral. This aligns perfectly with the Groups' planet-first approach, which includes long-term sustainability plans that influence every decision we make.
To demonstrate our commitment to sustainability, John Good Group worked with leading audit, tax and consulting firm RSM to measure and report the Group’s carbon footprint for 2022. All of the data gathered aligned to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This insight has enabled the Group to further develop its green initiatives, including the rolling out of carbon reduction programmes across each of its businesses.
We are very proud to say that in 2023, John Good Group announced that it had achieved operational carbon neutrality for all of its businesses.
