U.K.-based UBM plc, will host the event, along with a network of business partners, with the aim of bringing together companies and nonprofit organizations
"Business4Better aims to harness business prowess, expertise and resources in active, engaged partnerships with the nonprofit sector to benefit the communities and wider society in which business operates," said David Levin, CEO of UBM plc, the founding partner behind Business4Better. "The concept of 'doing good by doing what we're good at' is at the heart of UBM's corporate responsibility activities and our values as a sustainable business. Business4Better puts together our employees and our business partners' event resources to build a new path towards community engagement between nonprofits and businesses."
