The Regulator’s Community Interest Companies (CIC) Annual Report 2018 to 2019 was laid in Parliament on Thursday, 11 July 2019.
The report is always a team effort, where we detail the work of the CIC Regulator from April 2018 to March 2019. This year we were again ably supported by Gareth Price, Graphic Designer at Companies House.
This year's report
The theme of this year’s report concerns the environmental contribution of CICs and their benefit to communities. For this report we looked at:
- the environmental importance of CICs
- the eco-impact that CICs are making to their communities, employees and wider public
- where successful, community-focused businesses embody ‘Clean Growth’.
Ceri Witchard, CIC Regulator said:
CICs, with their entrepreneurial leadership and flexibility to take decisive action, are well-placed to positively benefit communities in achieving low-carbon goals and leading the shift to a greener, cleaner UK.
