Commenting on the announcement of the November 2014 conference, Tina Roche, CEO, Business in the Community Ireland said:

“We are delighted to confirm BITCI’s third major corporate responsibility conference. Drawing on over a decade’s experience, BITCI have witnessed first-hand a real sea change in the attitudes of Irish companies towards trust and reputation, with many companies using responsible business practices as the cornerstone of their strategic and sustainable planning for the future. The conference will be a unique opportunity to explore how companies can transform to sustainable businesses by placing corporate responsibility firmly on their business agenda. It will also reinforce the importance of sustainable business practices in the current business climate.”
