• Why Join?
  

Member companies join to increase their positive impact, reduce risks, exchange knowledge, improve their business operations and gain new relationships.

As Business in the Community Ireland is a non-profit organisation, the annual membership fee your organisation contributes is a charitable donation, exempt of VAT.

• To join a movement of companies committed to improving the reputation and impact of Irish business on Irish society and to create real change through effective collaboration with the public sector and non-profit organisations;
• To improve the relationship with local communities within which they operate. This includes companies engaging with community groups for the first time seeking to make a positive difference and companies currently engaged in ad-hoc programmes but looking for a more strategic approach with greate r impact;
• Companies that recognise the bottom-line benefits of measuring and improving their impact on all stakeholders (society, environment, workplace and marketplace) join for strategic advice and expertise on how to mainst ream corporate responsibility into your business processes to create lasting value;
• To support the programming activities managed by BITC Ireland aimed at helping the socially excluded to progress in today's society.
