Governance
The SBP's operation is overseen by a series of Company Members and Directors, who develop and monitor performance against the business plan and identify future areas of activity. Company Members exercise their power through voting rights at AGMs and EGMs, and the Board of Directors - drawn from within the company membership and elected on rotation - leads on decision making on operational and business development matters.
The Board of Directors develops and oversees delivery of a comprehensive annual Action Plan designed to meet a number of key objectives:
- Increase the numbers of businesses adopting sustainable business practices across the Hampshire & Isle of Wight area
- Raise the profile of the sustainable business concept and communicate the message of opportunities and business benefits to a new audience
- Stimulate demand for and uptake of the products and services offered locally by organisations working within the ‘green economy’
- Coordinate activity amongst public and private sector organisations and agencies working towards the aims of the SBP and provide the linkages between key organisations
- Commission and produce original research to further understanding of the needs of businesses in this area
- Develop new projects and where appropriate products and services to provide the most effective means of support to businesses
- Act as a conduit between local businesses and support organisations, and regional policy and strategy development (i.e. SEEDA strategy)
- Help to shape and influence local policy development to ensure that it best reflects the needs of businesses within a sustainable business context
