SCOTTISH companies of all sizes are being encouraged to support an initiative which champions the responsible business agenda.
Taking place this week, Responsible Business Week promotes the work of firms helping drive positive social, environmental and economic change.
Led by Business in the Community, a business-led, issue-focused charity, the week features knowledge sharing and networking events as a platform to raise awareness of the role responsible businesses play in creating a fairer society.
Alan Thornburrow, Business in the Community Scotland’s director said: “We know that only concerted action at scale by government, business and society will create the lasting and significant changes necessary to end poverty and improve quality of life for all who live in Scotland.
He added: “Responsible business has a vital role in achieving inclusive growth and ensuring Scotland is well placed to weather global turbulence and large-scale change.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
