Our Values

Diversity, Inclusion & Sustainability

BritishAmerican Business strives to be an inclusive and diverse organization. This is reflected in our employment policies and practice and in our content and programming.  In common with our members and the wider transatlantic business community we continue to address the diversity of our Board and Advisory Board.

BAB is committed to minimizing its direct and indirect carbon emissions and to supporting the principles of an environmentally sustainable business through its own behavior and through its programming. BAB has used outside experts to assess its carbon footprint which is modest. The bulk of the emissions are due to air travel between the USA and UK which we deem to be necessary in our role as a champion for transatlantic trade and investment.
