Together with 9 other causes, we had the opportunity to present our products and services for the benefit of society.
Rumyana Ivanova from BSE presented our social enterprise @"Nature in a Box", the first educational escape room @BioXcape, as well as the services with a cause that we are developing for businesses such as a green volunteer day, field trips, workshops with a cause for employees' children and for the employees themselves, etc.
The local coordinator of the initiative for Bulgaria is BCause - in support of charity , and the other participants were Baba Residence , Maria's World , Concordia , @PULS, @Empower, @Come and you, @House of Dreams, @Stanimira Chocolate house, @Mom has a job.
The presentations addressing local community issues, nature conservation, refugees, women, people with disabilities, access to culture and older people were extremely interesting - the colorful palette of the work of the civil sector for our entire society, in which business can play a role. The concept of social procurement - buying goods and services from social enterprises that put people and the planet first - is emerging as a powerful strategy for sustainability. It unites social cause and profit for the sake of a better future, allowing traditional businesses to procure the goods and services they need, while adding positive impact, innovation and diversity among their suppliers.
This is of key importance in our rapidly changing world, in which we increasingly feel the pressure of global social and climate challenges and realize the need for a more inclusive and sustainable economy. Growing social and legislative pressure is forcing companies to integrate sustainability in a decisive way into their business strategies and operations.
