In all our work, BCF engages with numerous third party organisations. We do this to gather more information, share knowledge and best practice, and to influence decisions on key areas of shared interest. These relationships occur upstream, among BCF trade associations representing our members' suppliers, and downstream with associations representing their customers. We work with manufacturing organisations who have the same or similar shared interests, particularly in the chemicals sector, and also with business organisations like MAKE UK. We also liaise closely with Government Departments and Agencies in order to better understand and, where possible, help to improve upcoming legislation and regulation. The following charts show the multitude of relationships and partnerships we have, either through formal memberships or informal networks and contacts.
