Social Enterprise Coalition starts new partnership with O2

Finance | Vibeka Mair | 8 Nov 2010

The Social Enterprise Coalition has started a partnership with the O2, which will see its annual conference, Voice11, held at the Greenwich arena next year.

O2 recently launched a bespoke phone package for social enterprises, and is the first major corporate to recognise the Social Enterprise Mark by offering its social enterprise customers a chance to apply for a 100 per cent subsidy on the Mark application fee.

O2’s commitment to social enterprise forms part of Think Big, a sustainability programme which enables customers to make a real difference for people and the planet.

Peter Holbrook, chief executive of the Social Enterprise Coalition, said: “Through this partnership with O2 we hope to broaden our reach and attract new audiences to social enterprise, including young people who will be thinking about their career choices. By joining up with a high-profile partner like O2, the movement can really begin to communicate with the mainstream about social enterprise and the benefits that it can bring to our society.”
