How to be part of an ethical supply chain

As a charity you can get advice, utilising the charity commission guidance, on how to work with the commercial sector.

Such as the charities with a connection to a non-charity guidance, which can be accessed here.

But when it comes to the social enterprise sector, the CIC regulator has some guidance but not as in depth as the charity commission.
Details of the CIC regulator guides can be found here.

Therefore it was interesting to see that Pioneers Post, a social enterprise magazine, recently published a podcast titled How to be part of an ethical supply chain.

This is part of their 2021 Wise Ways to Lead webinars delivered by Pioneer Post and NatWest.

It covers 5 key points to consider:

  • Shout about your impact and quality
  • Meet and build relationships
  • Learn about your clients and their needs
  • Give the best service you can without underselling yourself
  • Use platforms with a ready-made audience for you

You can listen to the podcast here, which lasts 24 minutes. Or look at the written ideas on the same webpage.
