Responsible Business

t

Responsible Business sits as the third pillar of Chamber vision project, BCCJ 5.0. At the BCCJ, we recognise the growing importance of applying business activities in a manner that considerate of economic, social and environmental benefits for all stakeholders. By operating in a way that promotes all-round progressive, sustainable development, not only do organisations appeal more to consumers, but also in attracting and retaining employees.

Responsible Businessは、BCCJの展望的な計画であるBCCJ5.0を支える3つの柱のうちの一つです。 BCCJは、すべての事業関係者にとって、経済的、社会的、環境的利益に配慮した方法で事業活動を行うことの重要性が高まっていることを認識しています。全面的に進歩的で持続可能な事業を行うことが、消費者に対する訴求だけではなく、従業員の雇用や定着にも繋がります。
