“Business in the Community Ireland is a unique movement of companies across Ireland committed to responsible business practices. Our purpose is to inspire, engage, support and challenge companies to continually improve the impact they have on society, specifically in the community, environment, marketplace and workplace.”

Since its inception in 2000, the mission of Business in the Community Ireland (BITCI) is to harness the power of Irish business to maximise its positive impact on all its stakeholders. With a staff of over 80, it is a non-profit organisation specialising in advice and guidance to leading companies on corporate responsibility and corporate community involvement. BITCI is also the national partner in Ireland for CSR Europe, the co-ordinating body on corporate responsibility at a European level.
