Corporate Responsibility at BBC Worldwide
As a fast-growing international media and entertainment company,
we try to be very aware of the impact our businesses may have
in our local communities and the wider world. With success comes
responsibility and we are committed to using our influence for the
greater good.
BBC Worldwide is wholly owned by the British Broadcasting
Corporation, which - as the UK's main public service broadcaster -
works to fulfil six Public
Purposes.
BBC Worldwide helps the BBC to deliver two of these Purposes in
particular:
- bringing the UK to the world and the world to the UK
- stimulating creativity and cultural excellence
We also provide products and services which help audiences to
engage with their favourite programmes and brands beyond the TV or
radio broadcast.
Our values as a company are the same as those of the BBC's and
frame our approach to commercial activity. At our core, we exist to
return money to the BBC to help keep the licence fee as low as
possible. But although we work hard to drive our financial returns
we always do this within the context of those values and
purposes.
Through our Worldwide Aware programme we have focused our
Corporate Responsibility activity in five key areas:
We aim to make a difference wherever our business has an impact
on society. Our aim is to strive for the highest standards in
everything we do and we have committed to take meaningful action to
make improvements wherever necessary.
We realise we are at the start of a journey and are excited at
the possibilities that lie ahead as our business grows and has more
opportunity to inspire and deliver positive change within our
business and in the wider world.
