£123m spent in the last year with social enterprises

JERICHO is proud to be part of Social Enterprise UK’s Buy Social Corporate Challenge, which supports large businesses to engage with social enterprises through their supply chains.

The Buy Social Corporate Challenge includes 30 major businesses, from construction companies and law firms to insurance providers and professional services. A new report from Social Enterprise UK reveals this year has been the biggest and best yet, seeing corporate partners spend £123 million with social enterprises, making £477 million in total since this work began in 2016.

We’re one of 1,778 social enterprises who’ve been brought into major corporate supply chains by the Challenge, which so far has created around 4,515 social enterprise jobs. Having seen first-hand the benefits for both sides when social enterprises win corporate contracts, we’re very pleased to be involved in driving such positive change across business sectors.

The social value at the heart of our work is a growing trend in the wider business world, and we’re proudly leading the way. Find out more in the latest report from Social Enterprise UK: https://www.socialenterprise.org.uk/seuk-report/buy-social-corporate-challenge-year-8-report/
