# Social Enterprise Builders 'arc' Creates Jobs in London in the Name of Sustainable Business By Social Business Editor | Published 2014-05-31 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc References: [twitter](https://twitter.com/BITC_arc) & [bitcarc.org.uk](http://www.bitcarc.org.uk/) An initiative of Business in the Community (BITC), 'arc' is a hub that supports social enterprises of various sizes. It certainly shows that it is part of BITC as the network of business relationships is widespread. The organization was inspired by something equally as impressive: the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. With that being said, arc attempts to create long-lasting urban centers by focusing on the most disadvantaged. In addition to BITC, it also partners with [Deloitte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurodiversity-at-deloitte), Founding Partners BP and [Visa Europe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-cards-code), making it a large-scale corporate endeavor. It is numbers-conscious as well and hopes to create over 20,000 jobs by the year 2016. **Contact Information** arc [website](http://www.bitcarc.org.uk/) arc on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/BITC_arc) arc on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/bitcarc) arc on [Instagram](http://instagram.com/bitc_arc/) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Enterprise Support:** More initiatives like 'arc' have potential for success in creating sustainable jobs and businesses in disadvantaged areas. - **Corporate-social Enterprise Partnerships:** Large companies partnering with social enterprises like 'arc' can not only make significant impact in supporting disadvantaged areas, but also create positive brand image and reputation. - **Urban Development for the Disadvantaged:** There is a growing demand for innovative solutions and partnerships aimed at improving access to jobs and resources for disadvantaged communities in urban areas. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Enterprise:** Social enterprises like 'arc' focused on creating sustainable business and jobs have potential to disrupt traditional approaches to community development, generating more value and positive social impact. - **Corporate Social Responsibility:** Businesses looking to enhance their corporate social responsibility can benefit from partnering with social enterprises like 'arc,' contributing to job creation and community development while enhancing their brand and reputation. - **Urban Planning and Development:** Urban planners and developers can leverage innovative social enterprise models and partnerships to address the complex challenges of urban development, including social inequality and lack of access to jobs and resources. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Remote Hiring Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-30.md) - [Office-Transformed Co-Living Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornerstone-project.md) - [London-Inspired Vibrant Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/area-office.md) - [Earthy Community Arts Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32-east-arts-centre.md) - [Elevated Miami Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcadis.md) - [Environmental Sustainability Business Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterfly-pavilions.md) - [Space-Focused Transformative Business Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformative-business-platform.md) - [Creative Space-Enhancing Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoke-artworks.md) - [Content Marketing Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/content-marketing-hub.md)
