Why Become a Member

The business world is rapidly changing and a new business paradigm is emerging: to create and sustain profitable growth it is essential for businesses of all sizes to fully embrace ethical, social and environmental values - and communicate those differentiating factors to customers, suppliers, employees and the community.

EMBRACING THE ETHICAL, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA OFFERS PURE COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGE

The Organisation for Responsible Businesses is the only UK membership organisation to support and actively promote socially and environmentally responsible businesses. It offers many reasons for becoming a member such as:

• Being a member of ORB and using the Responsible Business logo will raise your business profile
• A business edge over competitors.
• Information and signposting will help your business reduce overheads and increase profits
• Early advice of changes in legislation and opportunities that can help your business e.g. the Carbon Trust interest free loan
• An entry in www.TheResponsibleBusinessDirectory.co.uk is included in your membership, providing extremely good value for money
• The feel good factor - bring your personal ethics right into the heart of your business!

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS = PROFITABLE BUSINESS
