Business is the most powerful force for social progress
In a speech to the Business in the Community conference the Prime Minister said that business is the most powerful force for social progress, and set out plans to shine a light on the good that companies do that will help empower consumers and reward and encourage responsible business.
The Prime Minister announced the launch of a business-led working group called the Open Business Forum which will bring together leading companies and organisations to look at how business can be more transparent and help consumers and investors to differentiate between them, without adding any further burdens.
To help small businesses get involved in responsible practice, and to help get more young people into work the Prime Minister also set out plans for:
- The launch of ?Trading for Good? a new online directory for SMEs that will showcase the good work they do in the community; and provide free toolkits to help businesses get involved in socially responsible practices, like offering apprenticeships and work experience and setting up a payroll giving scheme, and,
- A new careers advice web-based service ? led by businesses and charitable partners ? that will help inspire and support young people aged 11-24 in preparing for their future careers.? It will also advertise entry-level jobs, apprenticeships and placements. Later this year they?ll launch a major website ? to be ?the one-stop-shop for the best careers advice?.
