BITCI awards pay tribute to companies' deep social ethos

Aldi Stores Ireland, Calor Ireland, Energia Group, Momentum Support, Permanent TSB and Siemens Healthineers join the list of Business Working Responsibly mark recipients.

Energia Group CEO Ian Thom, Northern Ireland Minister for Infrastructure Nichola Mallon, Wrightbus chairman Jo Bamford and Translink CEO Chris Conway, announcing a partnership with Translink to supply hydrogen to public buses in Belfast, pictured earlier this year prior to Covid-19 restrictions. Energia is among this year's new Business in the Community award recipients.

Social issues are still a priority for Irish-based businesses, who have continued to engage with environmental sustainability and community engagement throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

More than 200 business leaders attended Business in the Community Ireland’s annual awards, this year a virtual event to celebrate the latest companies to be certified to the Business Working Responsibly mark.
