TOGETHER WE CAN
In joining Business in the Community (BITC), you join a network of progressive businesses who look beyond the profit motive, who want to make a difference within society and who are prepared to collaborate to bring about change.
We are the membership organisation for businesses who want to publicly demonstrate a commitment to acting responsibly and invest in building a better society. We have hundreds of members and more than 300 business leaders taking active leadership roles with us.
94 per cent of companies can show or point to evidence that their leaders are committed to doing something, and talk about taking action, but only 17 per cent of their own workforce have targets built into their day-to-day role (source:The Responsible Business Tracker® Insights Report: Raising The Bar), so ambition is not always turned into action.
