5 key takeouts

Add value at the core

Use procurement’s unique position at the heart of the
business to add meaning through social enterprise.

Attract the next generation

Millennials are increasingly seeking a mission beyond
profit in their everyday roles. A strong link to social
enterprise will help you attract the best young talent in
the profession.

Do it for the business

As supply managers impact the whole business, it’s
important that we seek to understand as much of the
business as possible. This also applies to having a deep
knowledge of the commodities we source.

Do it for yourself

Find meaning in your career by bringing a social
purpose to your role. Benefits include higher job
satisfaction and, for managers, a higher retention rate
in the procurement team.

Reach out to the experts

Get in touch with external organisations specialising in
social enterprise for resources and support. Internally,
reach out to stakeholders including your corporate
social responsibility team, senior leadership and the
communications team.
