Earth Day 2024: Our Top Five Environment Resources
Earth Day, which falls on 22 April every year aims to raise awareness of environmental protection, and acts as a reminder that we should all be playing our part to protect the planet.
At Business in the Community (BITC), the environment is a key focus area of ours as we believe this contributes to an overall responsible business strategy. The recent launch of our Community Climate Fund embodies this, by aiming to bring businesses and communities together to tackle both the climate and cost-of-living crisis at the same time.
