Business in the community is a business led membership program dedicated to responsible and
profitable business .We convene as a unique network of purposeful leaders to share insight and
expertise and create innovative programs that deliver impact to the local community. Business
community relations as one chief executive recently put it is " food for the soul of the business &
organisation " No longer an afterthought or corporate window dressing . Community relations
more chief executives are acknowledging , is now a serious ,strategic aspect of business for all
global companies .A fundamental ingredient for the health of the enterprise .All leading edge
companies are now seeing that to succeed in a global economy ,the corporation has to be more
than a preferred shareholder. The broad array of new stakeholders that the business enterprise
must embrace require a new perspective on corporate governance and behaviour .In addition to
becoming the investment of choice , a company must become the supplier of choice, and the
employer of choice and what we , at the Business Vault Business & Community Program call a
"neighbour of choice " in the community. Our neighbour of choice corporate strategy is designed
to maintain and expand a companies licence to operate , through managing & enhancing it's
company reputation. To become a neighbour of choice , and a corporate socially responsible
company you must establish a legacy of trust with your local & global community . The Business
Vault Business Community Program will help create & deliver your business community legacy
of trust and plan of action ensuring positive , proactive connections to the community which will
translate into a boost to the bottom line of your business. Working with your local community can bring a wide range of other positive benefits .For example many businesses ,local customers
and global customers are important sources of sales. Demonstrating commitment to the local
and global community can also improve your business reputation and ,in turn ,make it easier for
you to recruit or retain employees. A good relationship with local authorities can also help .For
instance some local authorities prefer to award contracts to businesses with a record of good
community involvement.
