Scottish Business in the Community

Scottish Business in the Community is a not-for-profit company whose aim is to support, broker and challenge businesses to continually improve their positive impact on society to ensure a successful, sustainable economy and environment. It is led by its member companies, a prestigious group committed to the promotion of responsible business practice in Scotland.

Scottish Business in the Community has risen to the challenge that devolved government has brought to Scotland and are leading the way in promoting Corporate Responsibility in Scotland. It has delivered its programmes across Scotland from Dumfries in the south to Caithness in the North with a team of nineteen based in Edinburgh, and with other team members in Glasgow, West Lothian, Fife, Angus and Aberdeen.

The organisation is pushing hard on the climate change agenda in Scotland, recognising the business opportunity that this can bring to our economy. It is also gaining increased recognition for the work it is delivering in the area of employability; in particular in schools, through ‘Ready for Work’ and for those with mental health issues.

For me as Chief Executive, Scottish Business in the Community is an exciting, dynamic, challenging and fun place to work. It is so rewarding to see the impact that SBC can make on business, in our communities, changing the lives of individuals for the better.
