We’ve been shortlisted as a finalist at the World Procurement Awards 2020

We’re incredibly proud to announce we have been shortlisted as a finalist at the World Procurement Awards 2020 in the category of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

It’s all thanks to our work as the first company in foodservice to join the Buy Social Corporate Challenge, a ground-breaking initiative that sees corporate partners come together to do more with social enterprises. In the last year alone, we’ve worked with over 20 different social enterprises and making the shortlist is great recognition of the work we are doing.

These prestigious awards celebrate the initiatives, teams and people across the globe that are raising the benchmark for procurement excellence and pioneering the future of the function.

These awards are the most celebrated awards in procurement and to be shortlisted in the category of Corporate Social Responsibility is great recognition of the work we’ve been doing to create meaningful social change. We truly believe that social enterprises are the future of great business, and we’re excited to see our efforts recognised on a global level”.
