Advancing Social Mobility in Scotland

BITC’s Advancing Social Mobility report provides an accessible framework for businesses to assess how they are driving Social Mobility.

Advancing Social Mobility in Scotland

Low social mobility costs the UK Economy £140 billion per annum. Even modest increases could increase the UK’s GDP growth by 2-4% a year – World Economic Forum

Our Advancing Social Mobility report, created in partnership with Business in the Community’s (BITC) Scotland Social Mobility Working Group, provides an accessible framework for businesses to assess how they are driving Social Mobility.

Why it matters

Tackling social mobility can:

  • Increase productivity and profitability
  • Enable efficient, data-driven decisions
  • Weaker staff engagement
  • Improve socio-economic diversity

Coinciding with 2025’s Social Mobility Day theme #ShiftMindsets, our report also aims to provide ways in which businesses can challenge themselves on what they are doing in the Social Mobility space.

About the report

The report explores:

  • Defining Social Mobility and why it is important
  • Business’ role when it comes to Social Mobility
  • Your Blueprint to Success, including examples of best practice

Listening to our people, and sharing their stories is the first step to shattering stereotypes, proving that backgrounds should never be a barrier to opportunity.
