The Royal Warrant is a special recognition that is only granted to companies that have existed for at least one hundred years and that have achieved and maintained an excellent reputation over that time. Individual board members must be known for their integrity, high standards of social responsibility and have an impeccable character. The company must also be a vibrant organisation that is well-run and contributes to society in a meaningful way.

Companies that receive this designation are allowed to incorporate the Royal Crown into their logo and use the title ‘Royal’ or ‘By Royal Warrant’.
