Objective
To achieve our goals in sustainable development,
Government works with leading partners in CSR to encourage the
wider adoption of CSR across businesses of all sizes.
Progress
We recognise that there is no ‘one
size fits all’ approach to CSR and that companies will
need to consider the nature of their business and its key
impacts in developing their CSR practice. Raising awareness
of good practice across the range of CSR issues and business
sectors is one way we can help encourage businesses to improve
their performance.
BERR has worked with Business
in the Community (BiTC) on several
of their leading programmes. These include:
Annual Awards for Excellence
BERR has sponsored these awards since their
inception. The awards recognise leading examples of good practice
among businesses small and large. Other Government Departments
involved in sponsorship of the awards include Cabinet Office and Communities and Local Government.
You can find more information on the Awards, and case studies
of previous winners here.
Corporate Responsibility
Index
BERR sponsored the development of the BiTC Corporate Responsibility
Index. The Index helps businesses
to improve their impact on society and the environment by
assessing how well their CSR policies are embedded in their
business operations while also allowing them to benchmark
their performance against their peers.
