HRH The Prince of Wales’ charity Business in the Community (BITC) is calling on Norfolk based businesses to showcase how they are taking practical action to address pressing issues as the 2016 Responsible Business Awards open for entries.
The most prestigious and respected awards championing responsible business in the UK and abroad will identify and celebrate inspiring examples of businesses making a difference by creating stronger communities, building more inclusive workplaces and tackling societal and environmental challenges.
Now in its 19th year, the awards are open to companies of all sizes – from SMEs to multi-national companies – and across all sectors. It represents the breadth of the growing responsible business movement with categories appealing to a wide range of positive business activities, from helping young people develop skills for the future to investing in the wellbeing of employees.
Stephen Howard, Chief Executive, Business in the Community said “The Responsible Business Awards are so powerful because they provide tangible, practical examples of how businesses are making a difference every day to the pressing local and global challenges affecting us all. The awards reward those actions which both drive change in our communities, and deliver real benefit to business in the process. By lifting up those that genuinely inspire, we show that businesses are very much part of the solution to building a fairer and more sustainable future. We encourage Norfolk firms to get involved.”
