Northumbria has worked in partnership with NIBE for a number of years, collaborating recently on a series of `Responsible Business Seminars' exploring how Newcastle can remain an open, tolerant and compassionate city while still competing in an increasingly global economy.
Lucy Winskell OBE, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Employability and Partnerships) at Northumbria, said: "We have established a strong relationship with NIBE, particularly through our practice-based research on responsible and ethical business, and the actions which follow from the greater cooperation will enable us to support great businesses behaviour in the North East.
NIBE was established in May 2013 by Kevan Carrick, Canon Reverend Glyn Evans and Caroline Theobald CBE. It is an independent regional resource with an aspiration to become a focal point for good business behaviour, NIBE's vision is a business community that acts ethically, treats its stakeholders fairly and delivers on its promises.

"Businesses tell us they are looking for graduates who share their ethical values. It is a clear message, and one we will continue to promote to our students."
