Become a BSF Registered Signatory

What is a Registered Signatory?

Becoming a Registered Signatory is a serious organisational undertaking, it is an important commitment backed up by action. When becoming a Registered Signatory, it is a requirement that a senior representative sign the Charter commitment declaration on behalf of their organisation.
