Value proposition

The Living Wage is an independent movement of employers who believe a fair day’s work should mean a fair day's pay.

The Living Wage Foundation is the organisation at the heart of the Living Wage movement in the UK.

The Living Wage Foundation does three things:

Accreditation:

We offer accreditation to employers that pay the living wage, or those committed to an agreed timetable of implementation, by awarding the ‘Living Wage Employer’ mark.

Intelligence:

We provide advice and support to employers implementing the Living Wage including best practice guides; case studies from leading employers; model procurement frameworks; access to specialist legal and HR advice.

Influence:

We provide a forum for leading employers to publicly back the Living Wage. We work with six Principal Partners, Trust for London, KPMG, Linklaters, Resolution Foundation, Save the Children and Queen Mary University of London, who bring financial and strategic support to the work.
