Sellex Puts People and Planet at the Heart of Their Purpose
Sellex Consulting proudly announces it’s own Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Equity Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) commitments alongside its new training programmes to support Commercial Teams in collaborating with customers for a better future!
As we have readied Sellex for the next wave of growth, we have spoken to many Commercial Directors about areas of opportunity to enhance Commercial Confidence over the coming years. A better understanding and confidence in the areas of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) were very prominent in those conversations. This has helped us think even more critically on how Sellex can deliver a more sustainable Commercial Confidence for the future of People and Planet, both internally in our everyday actions and externally through our courses and consultancy.
The Sellex purpose is to build Commercial Confidence in the industry we love, paving the way for a new generation of leaders. We put people, planet and profit in equal measure - we passionately believe that this is possible!
That doesn’t mean that it is easy to constantly strive for better in terms of Environmental, Social & Governance policy and practises, but nothing worth having ever is!
Research from Deloitte has shown one in three UK consumers (30%) stopped purchasing certain brands or products because of ethical or sustainability-related concerns. And that year on year, a higher proportion of consumers stopped making purchases particularly in grocery, beauty and hospitality due to such concerns. This is why it is critically important to everyone that we understand how we can get this right, maximising people and planet in pursuit of the right kind of profit. We as Sellex have to “walk the talk” at all times.
We have thought long and hard about how we want to show up as a team – leading by example and walking the talk. With the valuable support of Ali Fisher, founder of Plans with Purpose, we have aligned our commitments to 5 key areas:
Responsible Business – Supporting the local economy and reducing our use of ‘stuff’, moving away from the old but well established linear approach of take, make and dispose into a more circular approach that treasures our resources and keeps everything in the loop for longer.
Climate Action – We measure our impact regularly. As a consultancy, it’s important that our sustainable travel policy is at the heart of how we operate. We reduce as much as possible before we offset.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) in Business – We are challenging ourselves to ensure we constantly improve the diversity in our business to reflect the clients we serve.
Supporting Youth – We love the industry we work in, we want to see more people join the industry and thrive. We run open programmes, to make the Sellex Academy available to all organisations.
Partnerships – We partner with the experts to ensure we give the very best support to clients across the domain of Customer Development.
We would relish the opportunity to share with you how we are driving the ESG and EDI agendas within our own business, as well as how we can support you with meeting the needs of your business and customers. Suppliers play a critical role in supporting customers with their Scope 3 Emissions – let’s discuss how you can make yourself even more invaluable to your customers.
