Business in the Community Ireland

Business in the Community Ireland is a movement for sustainable change in business.

In a dynamic and changing environment, sustainable businesses are successful businesses. With this in mind, Business in the Community’s purpose is to bring about a sustainable, low carbon economy and more inclusive society where everyone thrives.

For these reasons, Deloitte Ireland is proud to be an active member of Business in the Community for the last 15 years.

Deloitte Ireland is currently involved in the Leader’s Group on Sustainability, which incorporates The Low Carbon Pledge as well as the Inclusive Employer Blueprint.

The Business Working Responsibly Mark

The Business Working Responsibly Mark is the only independently audited standard for Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability in Ireland. The Mark is audited by the NSAI and based on ISO26000.

At Deloitte Ireland, we are active members of Business in the Community (BITC) whose mission is to harness the power of Irish business to maximise its positive impact on all its stakeholders and society. 

Deloitte was presented with the Business Working Responsibly Mark by Minister Richard Bruton T.D in October 2013, again in 2015 and in 2018 were re-accredited for the 3rd time. This mark is a fitting endorsement of the best practices we have in place in the areas of HR, sustainability, customer relationship management, marketing, corporate social responsibility and how we conduct business in general. 

Furthermore, the mark recognises our clear focus on talent, quality and our responsibility to all of our stakeholders.

"Our partnership with Deloitte is an energising collaboration where we focus on creating impact for the business and for Deloitte’s community partnerships. Corporate responsibility and sustainability are embedded in Deloitte’s purpose and culture, and core to its strategy. This is reflected in Deloitte’s achievement of the Business Working Responsibly Mark and participation in the Leaders’ Group on Sustainability. Deloitte plays a pivotal role in the Business In The Community Ireland member network and mission. "
