BERG is an initiative of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, Duke of Rothesay. BERG's objectives are to ensure all businesses are resilient. Many communities rely on local businesses for their services and provision of jobs to local residents. Often when a natural disaster hits a community the impact is hard and if a business is not prepared or resilient then it may not recover and become insolvent. This cascades through the community as jobs and local amenities/ services are lost.
Trading for Good, our small business platform is a growing network helping to improve the vibrancy of local communities. Find out how and why your organisation should join.
