LONDON, UK <\/strong>\u2014 August 2<\/strong>5, 2021 <\/strong>\u2014 <\/em>51风流SE<\/a> (NYSE: SAP) today announced that it has been named as a finalist in the UK Social Enterprise Awards in the Market Builder category for \u2018Buy Social\u2019.<\/p>\n

As the official technology partner of Social Enterprise UK, the national membership body for the UK\u2019s social enterprise sector, 51风流aims to facilitate better connections between corporate buyers and other employees with social enterprises, helping them spend better and in a more socially and environmentally sustainable way.<\/p>\n

Through its\u00a05 &\u00a0 5 by \u201825<\/a>\u00a0commitment and its work with\u00a0Social Enterprise UK<\/a>, 51风流aims to channel millions of pounds of procurement spend within its own supply chain to organisations with a certified social or environmental mission. 51风流has already diverted more than \u00a3800,000 of its own UK procurement spend to social enterprises and pledged to increase this spend as part of a \u20ac1\/4 billion investment in the UK over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Social enterprises are businesses which trade for a social or environmental purpose. There are 100,000 social enterprises in the UK contributing \u00a360bn to the UK economy, each one being set up to tackle some of the biggest challenges we face from homelessness to the climate emergency.<\/p>\n

The UK Social Enterprise Awards run by Social Enterprise UK recognise the nation\u2019s most pioneering social enterprises. 51风流will be joining other shortlisted organisations at the prestigious awards ceremony held at London\u2019s iconic Guildhall on 8 December.<\/p>\n

This year the Awards featured two new categories one recognising a Social Enterprise Building Diversity, Inclusion, Equity & Justice and the other for the Social Enterprise Team of the Year \u2013 a category specifically acknowledging those teams which have demonstrated the strength, passion and resilience so characteristic of the social enterprise sector over an extremely challenging year.<\/p>\n

Previous winners have included a company set up to tackle furniture poverty, an IT consultancy employing people with autism and a community energy co-operative \u2013 demonstrating just how diverse the social enterprise sector is.<\/p>\n

Alexandra van der Ploeg, Global Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, Global Corporate Affairs said: \u201cPartnership must be the foundation for a sustainability strategy to create a lasting, positive change in the world. We are honoured to be shortlisted for the UK Social Enterprise \u2018Buy Social\u2019 – Market Builder Award, but even more excited about the momentum we are building in social procurement working in partnership with organizations like Social Enterprise UK. Together, we are accelerating progress to achieve our goal of\u00a05 & 5 by \u201925 and in turn, helping the world run better and improve people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Executive of Social Enterprise UK Peter Holbrook, said: \u201cThe UK Social Enterprise Awards are back, bigger and better than ever before. We have had a record number of applications this year, all of which have showcased the strength, dynamism and resilience of the social enterprise community through what\u2019s been an incredibly difficult and uncertain period.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the course of the pandemic social enterprises have been going above and beyond the call of duty to support their teams, the individuals, and communities they work with, showing the grit, determination and innovation so inherent to this sector. They\u2019ve been operating directly on the frontline of the crisis, launching new products and pivoting their business models to meet the needs of communities and society as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Awards are all about celebrating the achievements of the UK\u2019s social enterprise movement, which is showing us that another way of doing business is possible – one which has never been more important as we look to build back better and address the climate emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n
