Our Mission
Scottish Business in the Community (SBC) is a not-for-profit company with charitable status. It is led by its member companies, a prestigious group committed to the promotion of responsible business practice in Scotland.
A sophisticated network of multi-sector contacts and 25 years of experience makes SBC the logical route through which the Scottish business community responds to the challenge of improving its impact on society. SBC is the natural route for organisations wishing to drive forward their Corporate Responsibility (CR) agenda in Scotland.
CR activity can be divided into 4 main categories or pillars:
-
Community
-
Environment
-
Marketplace
-
Workplace
Together with our members and partners, SBC is working collectively to deliver a positive and sustainable impact on the key issues for Scotland within these 4 areas. Key themes include employability, health, education and the economy.
SBC enables companies to make their impact on society as positive and productive as possible, whilst gaining tangible business benefits. It does this through 3 main areas of activity:
-
