The Committee of Enquiry - A new vision for business
The Committee of Enquiry was convened by Forum for the Future, Business in the Community and the New Academy of Business.
The main purpose of the Enquiry was to produce a set of public policy recommendations for the UK Government to promote corporate social responsibility.
It was organised under eight headings, covering policy options, consumers, employees, shareholders, supply chain alliances, communities, environmental sustainability, and values, ethics and accountability.
Recommendations generated from these themes cover: the stakeholder company, learning, business ethics, environmental sustainability, community investment, the working environment, encouraging partnerships, strengthening the supply chain, consumers and reporting.
The report was published in November 1999.
Forum for the Future is a UK based charity with a mission to accelerate the building of a sustainable way of life through a solutions-oriented approach.
The New Academy of Business is an international education and research organisation that aims to provide business with an enhanced capacity to respond to social, environmental and ethical challenges.
