Corporate social responsibilityBU seeks to demonstrate and promote the highest standards of integrity in its research, enterprise and professional practice activities, acknowledging and acting on the ethical, social and environment issues that arise from these activities. Curriculum developmentBU recognises the need in today’s world to embed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into its undergraduate and postgraduate studies. The Business School has recently appointed two Lecturers, Dr Christina Koutra and Dr Sachiko Takeda, who both specialise in this field. Working with the communityBU aims to meet the challenges and opportunities to be a good neighbour as it continues to develop. It has devised an action plan to address some of the concerns from local residents about noise and anti-social behaviour by a small majority of its students. Residents can contact BU with details of their concerns which are fully investigated by the University. BU liaises with students to ensure they are aware of how their behaviour impacts the local community. Locally, BU has promoted the positive effect students have on the local community by bringing economic and cultural benefits and general changes, for example improved transport links, to their neighbourhoods. << Back to contents page >> Forward to Summary of accounts |
