This event is open to Race Champions.
This Champions Forum will update attendees on the progress of the supplier diversity and inclusive supply chain project.

About this event
This is an exciting phase of Business in the Community’s (BITC) race campaign’s work, and we are keen to share information on opportunities and collaborations that will form part of the race campaign’s strategic forward plan for 2024/2025.

- Share and discuss good practices on implementing calls to action from the ‘Voices from Race at Work’ thematic review report, due to be published soon.
- Share a confidential early preview of diverse and inclusive supply chain YouGov survey results, and insights into the next steps and phase two.
- Provide feedback on strategic leadership and direction from the BITC Race Leadership Team.
- Preview new, in-development projects.
