Adnams is a growing brand with a national reach; however they are rooted in their home of Southwold and firmly committed to their community.
Whether working with Entrepreneurial Spirit students at Kirkley High School, donating a percentage of profits to local charities or organising local beach cleans Adnams believes in being a good neighbour.
Working with their community is part of their values-based business model which they believe leads to a highly motivated workforce and better relationships with customers, suppliers and the local community, giving them better business results.
Throughout their business, they take environmental considerations extremely seriously and are proud to be named the Carbon Trust’s Innovator of the Year 2009.
This award is aimed at commercial businesses that can demonstrate how they combine business success with involvement in their community, which goes beyond their core business strategy.
Entrants should consistently demonstrate good citizenship and show commitment outside normal business practice to people, places and events that are not directly aimed at improving their own business profile.
Please respond to the following questions about your business:
- Initiative – give examples of local projects that your business has been instrumental in initiating or has had a leading role in from the outset
- Company Involvement – give evidence of the support of the company management in supporting community or charity projects and whether staff are actively encouraged to become involved. Are there staff incentives to support local community projects and charities?
- Impact – give details of how projects in which you have been actively involved have directly benefited the local community
Education – does your business support local education, whether at primary, secondary, further or at higher level?
