Halfway through 2023, this rewind explores the top responsible business resources that Business in the Community (BITC) has published this year. Responsible business practices do not take a break, but this is the perfect time to reflect, recharge and re-think your responsible agenda.

BITC defines responsible business as delivering long-term value for all stakeholders by minimising any negative impact and maximising positive impact on society and the environment. Being a responsible business is crucial, as there is no such thing as a neutral business.
