BCF's NON-NEGOTIABLES



BCF does not work with those organisations or Corporates that abuse Human Rights and Labour rights. We do not engage with those who destroy the environment and those whose work impacts the planet and communities adversely. BCF does not support Corporate Responsibility work that is a greenwash or mere PR and superficial. We believe that Responsibility is about the way work or "business is done" ethically and legally and HOW Profits are made is critical not merely what is given away as welfare or charity.
