Gibraltar - 'Positive Business'
Positive Business
‘Positive Business’ is Equality Rights group’s campaign
to ensure best equality practice is applied by
companies and commercial enterprises in Gibraltar.
Business is rooted in people and the community. It is in
the interests of both commerce and consumers to
ensure equality of treatment underpins relations
between users and providers.
The message of equality is an everyday element of
good service – whether you find yourself in a shop, a
bar, a restaurant, a bank, a hotel, a bus or airport.
Business is interested in building opportunity, not
losing it.
It’s at this point, therefore, that Equality Rights group
aims to engage with decision-makers: whether the
business is small or large.
In return, we expect you, the citizen consumer to be
treated fairly, legitimately, and with courtesy. This,
ofcourse, is a two-way street: courteous and fair
treatment is an expectation when courteous and fair
behaviour also forms a part of our own treatment of
others.
This two-way dialogue, therefore, between Equality
Rights group (GGR) and business is what lies behind
the ‘Positive Business’ initiative.
Feel free to contact us. Let us know of any problems
you may face in any particular establishment. Furnish
us with the details, and we will work with you and with
the business concerned to overcome the difficulties.
Often, they arise out of misunderstanding or lack of
awareness.
Whatever you do, don’t lose your cool. Take note of all the details, pass them on to us. BUT REMEMBER::
· Never accept discrimination
· Never accept abuse
· Never accept second-class treatment
