The framework includes the following principles: \n\nBeing purpose-led\nStakeholder centricity\nRisk mitigation and opportunity spotting\nThrough-life impact\nTransparency\n\nWe will be sharing examples of organisations who have started to transition their business to more sustainable models\, and will be discussing the potential for transformation within the businesses represented at the session.  \n\n\nAbout Business in the Community’s Peer Learning Forums\nBITC’s Peer Learning Forums provide a confidential environment to discuss common issues\, solutions\, and good practice.
