WE ARE A SOCIAL, SUSTAINABLE, ENTERPRISE
A SOCIAL MISSION
Benefacto is a social enterprise on a
mission
to engage more professional people in meaningful volunteering. Done right, Employee Volunteering
strengthens the over-stretched charity sector and enhances the service received by those in
need. It
develops the skills of all involved, creates a cross pollination of ideas between different
groups
in our society and builds a greater understanding of how to support others in overcoming the
challenges they face.
A Sustainable Approach
At the forefront of our every decision is
ensuring the impact we have on our workforce, suppliers, the environment and the community is a
positive one. A platitude in a glossy report this is not: Benefacto is one of the UK's founding
BCorps which means we're certified as having rigorous standards of social and environmental
performance, accountability, and transparency.
The Power of Enterprise
At Benefacto we achieve our social
mission
through providing a valuable service to our charity partners. These activities are funded by a
host
of consulting, communications and brokerage services we provide to businesses to engage their
workforces in volunteering. Our workforce combines the best of the private and third sectors. We
are
principled, creative, technologically innovative and efficient.
