Welcome
Welcome to the Business in the Community Public Affairs micro-site at ePolitixBusiness in the Community mobilises business for good. We inspire, engage, support and challenge companies on responsible business, working through four areas: Marketplace, Workplace, Environment and Community. With more than 850 companies in membership, we represent 1 in 5 of the UK private sector workforce and convene a network of global partners. These members commit to integrating responsible business, sharing experience and taking collaborative action. This is achieved through campaigns, programmes, awards, benchmarks and publications. It's just good business. Our public affairs micro-site gives decision-makers, academics, the media and other stakeholders easy access to how we can help in campaigns, development of public policy and keeping you up-to-date on responsible business in the UK legislatures and internationally.
