Commitment
to quality
BBC Worldwide aims to be a world-beating organisation,
taking pride in delivering quality. In 2002/03
BBC Worldwide’s commitment to quality
was demonstrated by a record number of awards
won, culminating in a Queen’s Award for
Enterprise in International Trade (see page
25). The company also continued an excellent
record of brand protection, seizing more than
1,110,000 counterfeits globally and preventing
goods which can fail to meet even basic safety
standards and can be dangerous to consumers
from reaching the market.
Commitment to our
people
BBC Worldwide participates actively in the
BBC’s staff initiative Making It Happen,
as a natural |
extension of For
a Better World, its own programme to improve
the working lives of staff, which has run
since 1998. During the year BBC Worldwide
achieved Investors in People, the national
standard for people development, for a second
time, and is only the second company in the
world to be recognised globally as an Investor
in People.
Commitment to creativity
BBC Worldwide’s creativity was marked
by the large number of awards won for book
and magazine design and production, for multimedia
development and for its marketing campaigns.
BBC Worldwide continued to make a strong financial
return to creative talent. Around £80
million was paid to actors, writers, musicians,
