• Business Working Responsibly Mark
  

Ireland's only certification for responsible and sustainable business practices

Drawing on its experience advising Ireland's top companies, Business in the Community Ireland has developed the Business Working Responsibly Mark which gives any organisation, across industry and service sectors, the opportunity to evaluate, certify and benchmark its sustainable and responsible practices across operations.

Use the Business Working Responsibly Mark to:

• Enhance your bidder status and investor interest
• Identify operational opportunities and risks across: human resources; facilities; environment, health and safety; corporate affairs; R&D; procurement; sales
• Respond definitively to that frequent question: how do we rate our corporate responsibility practices?

Company data provided as part of the certification process is independently verified by our auditing partner, the National Standards Authority of Ireland. The criteria against which companies are evaluated have been developed according to international best practice and will continue to evolve as standards rise.

Corporate Responsibility is the only framework that helps business to consider a range of opportunities and risks that are vital to business success such as:

• having a robust environmental and sustainability strategy
• being the kind of company that attracts and retains top employees
• engaging positively with customers and all stakeholders
• demanding high standards of its suppliers
• supporting a healthy physical environment
• the value to the business of operating in a vibrant local community

Now is the time for businesses in Ireland to be recognised for its best in class responsible business practices and to develop a roadmap for future success. This is essential in Ireland today as corporate responsibility is increasingly seen as a differentiator and a source of competitive advantage.
