Business in the Community

Overview

Brit has partnered with Business in the Community (“BITC”) to focus on growing our networks, and taking pride in our collective achievements and leadership as an increasingly responsible business.

Business in the Community (BITC) has a membership of over 600 businesses across the UK, each committed to continually embedding and improving their responsible business practice, working collectively to create lasting, beneficial impacts in their communities.

As part of the network, we have the opportunity to share learning, grow our networks, and take pride in our collective achievements and leadership as an increasingly responsible business.

We will be working closely with BITC to identify opportunities to design, develop, and implement responsible practice for the benefit of Brit, our people, our customers, and our key stakeholders.

All of BITC’s activities are categorised within the themes of its Responsible Business Map©, built on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

As members of BITC, we have gained access to a range of expert resources, and exclusive benefits that can be useful for colleagues looking to learn more about responsible business, and develop their careers and networks. Managers should feel free to work to identify key development opportunities, and encourage their teams to make the most of the events, resources, and learning available via BITC.

In July 2020 Brit committed to sign the Business in the Community Race at Work Charter. The Race at Work Charter consists of five calls to action to ensure that ethnic minority employees are represented at all levels in an organisation. Business in the Community is the oldest and largest business-led membership organisation dedicated to responsible business.
