Transparency

The British Business Bank PLC (BBB) is a wholly owned government-owned institution and aims to be as transparent as possible as set out in our Shareholder Relationship Framework Agreement (PDF, 782 KB).

As a public authority, we are committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and accountability and are subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

Publication Scheme

Under the FOIA, we are required to have a publication scheme. The Information Commissioner (IC) recognises public authority websites often act as their publication scheme. The information to the right lists the categories of the IC’s model publication scheme and provides links to the information available.

Our Annual Report and Accounts is one of the main sources of information that explains what we do, our priorities, expenditure, and performance, but we regularly publish information across our website about our programmes, case studies, news, and events.

Information is accessible and free of charge unless otherwise stated.
