"Harry’s mouth fell open. The dishes in front of him were now piled with food. He had never seen so many things he liked to eat on one table: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops and lamb chops, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup and, for some strange reason, mint humbugs."Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, J. K. Rowling

Business Practices

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming more important for businesses in the UK, where there is strong growth in consumer activism thanks to the prevalence of social media and grass roots organizations.

The three main themes for CSR in the UK are work place issues (work life balance, human rights, employment); community contribution (big society/social justice) and the environment (sustainability of resources, etc).

The UK has subscribed to the Millennium Goals of the United Nations and many business leaders are actively working towards achieving these. The UK Government supports CSR through tax breaks and the encouragement of charitable giving.

Punctuality

In general, the British value time-keeping for business arrangements. If you set up a meeting for two o’clock, the chances are your counterparts will arrive on time or just before. It is considered very impolite to arrive late for a business meeting. The busier people are, the greater the likelihood that they will have to leave for another engagement, so respecting their time is very important.

Gift Giving

Gift Giving is not a usual part of British business etiquette, although reciprocation is good practice when gifts are received.

Business dress code

When it comes to business dress codes, classical conservative attire is the norm for both men and women in British culture and dark colors such as black, dark blue and charcoal grey are predominant.

Corruption

Bribery and corruption are generally taken very seriously in the United Kingdom and the chances of a bribe being accepted are very low. The risks are too high and it is strongly advisable not to try to bribe anyone.
