Our Collective Network

Collaboration is central to BITCI’s engagement with members. This is done in multiple ways including flagship events, collective campaigns, workshops, peer discussions and webinars all designed to share, challenge and inspire members to advance their sustainability agenda. These are delivered through our annual calendar of events which is a mix of online and in-person events. Throughout the year, we engage with sustainability practitioners and C-suite executives working to ensure that strategic ambition is translated to impactful action for business.

As a convenor, BITCI knows the regular Member’s Network meetings in Dublin and Munster facilitate cross sectoral relationships and learning among sustainability practitioners to upskill and empower themselves with latest trends and insights.
