Nature on the Board

The Better Business Network is the third company in the U.K (4th in the World) to officially add Nature to our Board of Directors!

This new concept creates a new role within the company which is specifically designed to represent nature and the wider natural world.

As part of our Nature on the Board commitments, we’ve officially announced our Vision for Nature:

“Act consciously in the way we work and impact nature, whilst reflecting our interconnection within nature and supporting other businesses to do the same.”

Through our events and experiences we implement this Vision to inspire and educate BBN Members to take action.
