Independent advertising agency and creative company, Mother has been awarded the Fair Tax Mark by the Fair Tax Foundation and becomes the first global advertising agency to secure accreditation to the gold standard of responsible tax conduct.
Rollo Price, chief finance officer at Mother, commented, "Mother has always paid its fair share, and being a responsible citizen is very much at the heart of our overall mission to Make Our Children Proud. As an independent company with operations in the UK, Europe, US and Asia, it’s important to us that we pay our way and contribute to where we do business.”
The Fair Tax Mark accreditation scheme seeks to encourage and recognise organisations that pay the right amount of corporation tax, at the right time and place. Tax contributions are vital to businesses' broader social and economic contributions. Accredited companies include listed PLCs, co-operatives, social enterprises and large private firms.
Graham Drummond, head of communications, Fair Tax Foundation, said, “We’re very pleased to welcome Mother to the Fair Tax Mark family of businesses. Through its creative campaigns, it has often stood up for important issues, and Mother now joins the fight for a fairer economy. Tax contributions help fund the public services we rely on, and Mother rightly takes pride in giving back to society by paying the right amount, in the right place, at the right time.”
