SUMMARY:Peer Learning Forum: Regulations or Responsible Business
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore how responsible businesses stay ahead of regulations and thrive with purpose.\n\n\nThis is an online event. \nAudience\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) members who have advisory in their membership package. Our Peer Learning Forums (PLF) are now open to all members who have advisory in their membership package – hosted by our issue experts\, there are 20 forums a year\, covering a range of responsible business areas and enabling our members to discuss challenges\, solutions and ideas. \nAgenda \n10:00- Welcome and Introduction \n10.15- What do we mean by Responsible Business? \n10.25- What part has regulation played in Responsible Business to date? \n10.35- What regulation do we need to consider going forward? \n10.45- Breakout discussions \n11.10- Feedback and Group Discussion \n11.30- Close \n\n\nBackground\nCSR\, Sustainability\, ESG\, Responsible Business – it doesn’t matter what you call it. At BITC we talk about ‘Responsible Business’ because we’re talking about a core business approach\, not an add-on. Businesses with a purpose and a responsible business ethos\, have long considered the changing global context and considered how they can continue to thrive and survive into the future. Taking care of the environment and your community\, has always been a must for business survival\, but responsible businesses have really been investing to ensure success all round. Interface has been working towards net zero since 1994\, the Co-op has been investing in Fair Trade for over 30 years and Mott Macdonald has been employee owned since the 1980s. These are responsible businesses\, and no doubt they were considered mad by many when they began their endeavours. \nRegulation and legislation have always played a role in encouraging businesses to be more responsible. Worker’s rights\, anti-discrimination\, pollution and health & safety have all been legislated for and regulated to ensure better work environments. Net Zero legislation\, gender pay gap reporting – these again forced companies to take strides in addressing serious societal issues. We also now have the TCFD\, CSRD\, ISSB\, SDS…no this isn’t acronym bingo\, it’s a flurry of regulation that requires businesses to think more about the environment and society that they work within. \nAbout the event\nSo\, with regulation and legislation related to responsible business on the rise\, how do businesses respond and make sure that they continue to be ahead of the responsible game\, rather than just compliant? Join us at this peer learning forum for BITC member companies to discuss this and more. \n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact Jessica Hart\, Event Coordinator\, BITC for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community

SUMMARY:Let's Care Together - Programme Introduction (for Employers)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is for employers and wellbeing leads to introduce our new virtual befriending initiative to support carer’s wellbeing. \n\n\n\nAudience \n\n\n\nThis is a virtual event open to employers\, wellbeing leads and employee carer networks. \n\n\n\nBackground \n\n\n\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) and leading healthcare provider Simplyhealth\, have come together to co-create the Let’s Care Together programme. \n\n\n\nResearch shows that unpaid carers have worse wellbeing outcomes than non-carers\, and are likely to be time-poor due to their caring responsibilities*. The programme aims to support carers by streamlining access to resources and providing practical support across the four pillars of wellbeing: Physical\, Mental\, Social and Financial. This support will include helping people with caring responsibilities to connect with friends and family\, community groups and wider support\, find wellbeing information and gain financial confidence. \n\n\n\nOur volunteer befrienders will work on a one-to-one basis with each carer on one or all of the following\, depending on their preference: ​ \n\n\n\n\nIncreasing connection to their local community\, improving overall social wellbeing and reducing any feelings of isolation. ​\n\n\n\nSupporting financial independence and knowledge of financial tools/support available.​\n\n\n\nAccess to practical support and tools for their physical wellbeing. ​\n\n\n\nBeing a regular listening ear and friendly face to offer support and guidance.​\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nIn this webinar you will learn how our Let’s Care Together programme can support unpaid carers (over 18) with their wellbeing\, through pairing them with an online befriender. \n\n\n\nJoin this session to learn more about how your beneficiaries\, or colleagues with caring responsibilities could benefit from the programme. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nUsha Manojkanth – BITC Programme Manager \n\n\n\nSimon Walters – BITC Programme Manager \n\n\n\nMichelle Brannen – BITC Programme Manager \n\n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\n\n\n\nEmail care@bitc.org.uk\, for any further questions.\n\n\n\nThe session will take place on Teams.\n\n\n\nJoining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\n\n\n\nAbout Business in the Community \n\n\n\nBusiness in the Community is the largest and longest-established movement dedicated to responsible business in the UK\, formed in 1982 and with HM The King as our Royal Founding Patron.
