This session will explain what is involved in achieving the CORE Standard for Responsible Business accreditation. You will gain insight into the business benefits and hear from a business that has successfully achieved CORE.

The CORE Standard for Responsible Business has been designed to support businesses that are committed to integrating corporate responsibility into the way they do business. CORE is based on Business in the Community’s Corporate Responsibility (CR) framework. CORE enables you to map your entire corporate responsibility activity and benchmark it against other organisations, all independently verified by an external assessor.
