Amey和伦理文具合作伙伴在克罗伊登创造社会价值
Amey与社会企业道德文具和一群南伦敦慈善机构联系起来,将面部覆盖物包装并分销16,000名员工,包括超过10,000名以上的关键工作者,在英国。
参与组织包括Lives not Knives、Croydon Nightwatch和evolution Housing,所有这些组织都被Ethical Stationery招募来提名Croydon社区的弱势群体,他们将受益于在Old Whitgiftian RFC为期两天的包装和处理口罩的工作。
该项目汇集了社会企业,慈善机构和英国制造商,展示采购的力量以及大型企业通过与当地的第三部门组织和小企业合作,为供应链的每一步产生积极的社会影响。
Amanda Fisher,Amey的首席执行官评论:“由于英国从大流行和政府兴起,社会企业将在脚后返回当地社区,并且政府希望建立更加富有成效的英国。This is why ‘buying social’ is a core part of our social value plan, and why we announced earlier this year that we would be increasing our spend with social enterprises by 60% to £8m in 2020. Our work with Ethical Stationery is an excellent example of this commitment and it shows just how impactful a sustainable procurement strategy can be.”
Bruce Halai-Carter联合创始人Ethstat伦理文具CIC评论:“这项项目所拥有的影响只是令人兴奋。环保方面我们已经节省了576kg的垃圾填埋卡,3,760千克的二氧化碳和15,700只使用可生物降解的包装包装。We’ve raised £3,500 for the NHS, employed 18 homeless and vulnerable adults, supported three amazing charities in Lives Not Knives, Evolve Housing and Nightwatch – for whom we’re also donating 200 masks and encouraged our local community sports club to make a regular donation of food for rough sleepers. This project has been all about maximizing the good and reducing the environmental impact. I love those projects that really go for it rather than settle for a percentage here and there, so I couldn’t be prouder that every single penny has been spent in the UK, every single penny has helped UK communities and every single penny has gone to generating positive social impact. To top it all off, we managed to give all the packers an extra bonus for their hard work through others donating their time, so the most vulnerable received £250 for two days work. Everyone left happy, we’ve had emails and texts asking us when the next event is and we’ve touched people’s hearts, given them hope, and done what we love to do.”
Humayun Kabir,我们的Croydon Mayor评论说:“Ethstat道德文具CIC正在展示社会企业的真正精髓,所有这些都是克罗伊登的伟大。随着克罗伊登成为社会企业自治市镇,作为克罗伊登市长,我很自豪地支持这一倡议。这项工作支持无家可归者,前罪犯和社会中最脆弱的人。当就业稀缺的时候,通过Amey Plc,ethstat正在为人们提供急需的基金和社区精神。
莎拉琼斯议员为克罗伊登评论说:“巨大的经济困难将在接下来的几个月里来到。我们需要每个人都尽可能努力做一系列的事情。一,为了确保人们有就业,两者,确保最难的帮助,可能无法进入就业获得他们所需的帮助。社会企业有一个非常重要的作用,他们可以创新,他们可以做有趣的事情,他们可以用他们制作的钱,把它放回他们正在做的工作。他们可以帮助人们进入就业,他们可以提供我们需要的服务。这是一个非常神奇的倡议和一项非常重要的工作。“
2017年,Amey加入了社会企业英国的购买社会企业挑战,该挑战将其承诺与社会企业共度1亿英镑以及其他高调企业。最近,Amey与社会企业的年度花费翻了一番,达到500万英镑,并宣布了一个雄心勃勃的四年支出目标,社会企业总共5%的可征求化花费,使得amey成为英国政府的第一个战略供应商。
