Business in the Global Community

Since 1997 Business in the Community has been responding to the need for local expertise and advice outside the UK by developing a network of partner organisations who can provide an infrastructure of local support to our member companies.

The growth of the network has been driven by the acceptance of multinationals to integrate responsible business into their core global strategies.

We now have partners in Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, North America and are making partner development in Africa and China a priority. Currently, the number of partners globally stands at 115.

The network of country partners has allowed the successful piloting and implementation of the international employee engagement campaign ENGAGE. Supported by IBLF and a Leadership Team of major BITC member companies, ENGAGE seeks to encourage the growth of employee engagement in local communities, focused particularly on the challenges faced by the most disadvantaged communities.
