10. What's in it for me? Learning from each other within BCCH  … allows you to learn from the best companies … grants you practical knowledge … may give you credit through media exposure … is a mirror to test your CR against … educates invited decision makers and journalists … allows you to build professional contacts … cost effective (basically free) Third-party CR trainings/audits are MUCH more expensive. You save money and get the best quality available.
