Cedar recently became the latest member of Business in the Community Northern Ireland (BITCNI), joining a network of over 270 businesses dedicated to responsible business practices.

The partnership, which was announced at the end of March, highlights Cedar’s ongoing commitment to supporting people, contributing positively to society, and playing a responsible role within the corporate sector.

Business in the Community Northern Ireland (BITCNI) has been a leader in promoting corporate responsibility for nearly 35 years. As the largest business-led coalition in the region, BITCNI offers advice and resources on areas such as: community engagement, employment, diversity, and climate action. By joining this network, Cedar Foundation and our users stand to greatly enhance our understanding and capabilities in these areas.

We look forward to participating in and benefitting from the range of services promoted by BITCNI, including advisory services, events, and initiatives focused on health and wellbeing, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion.”

Our members recognise the huge benefits that come from managing their businesses in a responsible and sustainable way, and we look forward to working with all of our members established and new supporting them on their responsible business journeys. 

"We aim to help and inspire companies to address three campaigning areas - their People, the Planet, and the Place in which they operate. By working together to tackle social and environmental issues, businesses in membership with us can truly become a force for good in society."
