The company citizen is a concerned, involved, neighbourly and responsible member of the community
Sector 4 Focus was established by Tom Levitt in 2010.

‘Sector 4’ – the fourth sector – is the space between the public sector, the private sector and the third sector. It’s where business acknowledges its legitimate and essential role in the community, the nation and the planet.
It is the space in which relationships happen: with charities, local and central government and civil society generally.
Sector 4 Focus believes that the tools of business should be better focused on creating public good. We provide bespoke consultancy, facilitation and comment. We advocate, facilitate and help sustain cross-sector partnerships to meet common goals in an atmosphere of mutual respect and responsibility.
