What we do
Business in the Community is a membership organisation for successful companies committed to doing business in a responsible way which helps them impact positively on their People, the Planet and the Place where they’re located. In Northern Ireland, we have a growing membership of almost 250 members.
2010 was an incredibly successful year for Business in the Community, which started with our receiving the Northern Ireland Quality Award in January, followed by winning the Irish News Best Place to Work Award for small companies in June and rounded up nicely when we achieved BS8555 accreditation in August.
