Our work: Responsible Business Leadership
Scroll to explore
We know that to sit in a leadership position within a business is to hold a lot of responsibility, most of which extends beyond business and to the region and the world around us.
As the world changes, new challenges develop, and new opportunities emerge, we promote responsible and inclusive leadership and ambition, making a tangible contribution to improving the life chances of individuals and communities across the North West.
United for Ukraine
Following the invasion of Ukraine the NWBLT used our convening power to bring together public and private sector partners from across the North to join forces to provide employment opportunities and support to Ukrainian evacuees. The initiative is focused on a digital platform, created by the Growth Company, which connects employers with evacuees. For Ukrainian nationals, and other refugees who are eligible, the United For Ukraine website provides a searchable list of job vacancies with employers who have committed to providing good job opportunities in a supportive environment.
Be the Business
Be the Business, a not-for-profit business support organisation whose goal is to help business owners and leaders improve the performance of their business.
Through this partnership, we encourage our partners to put senior leaders from their organisations onto a professional board of advisors set up by Be the Business. This Advisory Board offers support, challenges, and an external perspective to the executive team.
The board members offer a year of free support, meeting with the business leader every quarter to support the businesses to grow. The boards help inject their businesses with new ideas, act as a sounding board on business strategy and stress-test critical decisions.
To date many of our members have utilised this opportunity, such as Accenture, Manchester Airport and Assura. If you want to find out more, please click through to Be The Business/Advisory Boards.
