Youth Business Trust

Integrity, Fairness, Accountability and Transparency are values which we hold with the highest esteem. We pride ourselves in having a well-diverse and well-qualified group of community individuals on our Board and Management Team, who understand and practice international standards of governance, compliance and innovative thinking. We practice and adhere to a strict Code of Conduct and business ethics.

The Board of directors, employees and contractors of the YBTB must at all times observe the highest standards of impartiality, integrity, objectivity and honesty in relation to the work they undertake.

Integrity, Honesty, and Fairness
We guide ourselves by what is proper and what makes us professionally and personally proud. We are honest and direct with our clients and one another.  We are committed to respecting and obeying the law and upholding the highest standards of integrity and fairness. 

Accountability
We do what we believe is right and take responsibility for our actions. We believe in transparency and sharing of ideas and information across the YBI network

Excellence
Our goal is to deliver timely and efficient business support and high-quality enterprise services through superior performance

Diversity and Equal Opportunities
The YBTB attaches high value to diversity and working to eliminate unlawful discrimination.  Valuing  diversity means making an organisation that is genuinely open to the creativity, insights and experience of people of different race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, sexuality, disability and other backgrounds amongst both our actual and potential staff and the individuals and organisations with whom we work. It means dealing with prejudice and discrimination where it exists and recognizing that we have to work at it to obtain the benefits of diversity. 

Use of Resources
The Board of Directors, employees and contractors of the YBTB have a duty to ensure that the donor resources are used in the most economical, efficient and effective manner as befits public money. 

Security and Confidentiality of Information
The YBTB will collect a great deal of very sensitive information and we have a responsibility to keep this confidential.

People
Our most important asset is our people and business partners - their insights and  needs matter to us. 

Teamwork and Communication
We are young, dynamic, team, sharing ideas, and communicating sound knowledge and best practices. 

Change
We recognize that change is the only constant and therefore embrace change and innovation in all we do. 

A Fun, Creative Working environment
We want our people to like working here. We are innovative and creative thinkers with diverse skills and outlook. 

Identifying and Declaring a Conflicts of Interest
It is important to promote public confidence in the YBTB and this could be undermined if it appeared that any member of staff was able to be influenced inappropriately in the way in which they carried out their duties.
