** NEWS ** Socially Responsible Companies encouraged to enter BITC Awards
Businesses that can demonstrate outstanding corporate social responsibility are being called on to enter Business in the Community's (BITC) 2010 Awards for Excellence.
Firms can enter any of the 15 main award categories. There is also a specific category for firms with less than 250 employees — the Small Company of the Year Award. Categories include the Talent Award, the Healthy Workplace Award, the Bank of America Climate Change Award and the Active Communities Award.
Entrants to all categories must be able to show evidence of the impact they are having on the community or environment, prove that the programme could be replicated and demonstrate a clear business case for the activity.
The closing date for entries is 5 March 2010 for national awards and 30 March for regional awards. The Examples of Excellence winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner at Hengrave Hall in June 2010 supported by BAA Stansted, Adnams and Anglian Water
