Now in their 10th year, the Awards for Excellence are the most influential UK awards recognising the positive impact of responsible business in the marketplace, workplace, environment and community.

The Scottish tourism industry has long demonstrated its commitment to the environment in which it works, its staff, customers, suppliers and indeed the communities in which it’s based.

If you are a private sector company or member who feels that you have robust evidence of responsible business practice and want to be recognised for it, then check out the Awards for Excellence 2007 at: www.bitc.org.uk/what_we_do/awards_for_excellence/how_to_enter/index.html or call Karen Moore/Claire Howe at Scottish Business in the Community on 0131 451 1100.

This year's awards will be presented by HRH The Prince of Wales and former Vice President Al Gore at an exclusive London venue on 10 July 2007. Closing date is 2 March 2007.
