About Inspiring Excellence
Since 2003, Business in the Community Ireland has been collating examples of best practice in corporate responsibility in its member companies.

This annual compilation, Inspiring Excellence, shines a light on excellence in place in leading companies, in order to engage and inspire businesses of all sizes to promote and communicate their own responsible practices.
To qualify for entry into Inspiring Excellence, members must examine the impact of a practice, the stakeholder consultation involved and what is required for continuous improvement so that the company and the stakeholders benefit equally. 
Inspiring Excellence is a testament to the companies that have committed to continuously improve their social and environmental impact and embed sustainable business practices into the fabric of their operations.
