charity

In face of the humanitarian crisis taking place in Ukraine, Bidvest Noonan has launched a Ukrainian Humanitarian appeal to raise much-needed funds for the Red Cross. The charity is working hard in the region to help make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by the conflict.

Teams from across our business have been getting creative and working hard to raise much-needed funds. Many people are also volunteering their spare time to support initiatives across our business.

Bidvest Noonan’s Kasia, Volodymyr, Wojciech, and Adrian, alongside some other volunteers (pictured above) have kindly volunteered their time to help with a massive logistical operation to deliver donations of food and equipment to people in Ukraine affected by the Humanitarian Crisis. Over the past two months, an estimated 50 tonnes of aid has been sent thanks to their efforts.

Some of our colleagues in our Transport business unit have been supporting the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Manchester. Adam Cardiff, Andy Crabtree, and Keiren Beckley have been volunteering after work to deliver and collect packages of much-needed items for Ukrainian refugees.

Margarita Kostova and colleagues Corina, Jurgita, Villy, and Violeta, raised funds by organising a bake sale and raffle events in our London office recently.

As a business, we are determined to help so we are matching the funds that our teams are raising for this worthy cause.

Now more than ever our actions matter. Our business is playing its part to help save the planet we know and cherish. At Bidvest Noonan we have a goal to become Net Zero. To achieve this, we have implemented a range of sustainable initiatives and practices. This includes our move to an electric fleet, implementation of water saving technologies, increased use of green chemicals and recyclable materials, and the introduction of ways to support biodiversity.

We are proud to share our Environmental Report, where we outline the steps we are taking to deliver a greener and more sustainable world.

In our business, we have always strived to be an ethical and sustainable company. This means doing our best to minimise our impact on the environment while maximising the good we do in the societies where we operate.

We want to be bolder and more innovative and continue leading the way in our CSR initiatives. That is why our CSR community has launched Sunrise. Sunrise will focus on four key areas where everyone can contribute to make an impact: Workplace, Environment, Community, and Marketplace.

Spearheaded by John King, Environment, Social and Governance Director, the committee is made up of a variety of Bidvest Noonan colleagues across each of our business units, who are passionate about corporate social responsibility. Their varying ideas, insights and experiences will help drive our ambitious plans forward.

Sunrise will see us launch an array of communications, engagement plans, campaigns, and reward and recognition incentives, to make it easier for everyone to get involved and for us to work together for a better tomorrow.
