OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROJECTS
Our CSR SDWANDERFUL initiatives operate in the UK, and we will soon launch in Europe and Africa. Named after the SD-WAN technology we are seen as trusted, global leaders and innovators in and how wonderfully privileged we are to be able to help in even just a small way, our aim is to make a measurable and positive difference to lives wherever we can.
We seek to raise awareness about poverty, inequality and unrealised potential, as well as raise funds through various activities and events, these funds are then donated to registered charities who know best how to support those who need it
The SDWAN Solutions CSR initiatives include our Make every event a Givent and free solution management across all of our solutions provided to Charities and Not for profit organisations, including SDWAN 1-2-3 and SASE 1-2-3 products.
The “MAKE EVERY EVENT A GIVENT” Backstory
The idea behind our “Make every event a Givent” innitiative was born from an observation made by our very own CEO, Anthony Senter.
“I spotted a social media post from a friend who had just spent £300 (GBP) on afternoon tea for 3 at a well-known swanky location in central London. I thought it was obscene – they could have fed 100 people for that, not just 3! It then occurred to me, how many people and businesses were spending huge amounts of money on feeding people that simply don’t need feeding in the name of corporate entertainment. I wanted to do something totally different at SDWAN Solutions. I would rather not entice people to events with lavish meals in posh settings, I would rather offer true business benefits and informative content and support charitable causes – that to me is a win-win”, explains Anthony.
SDWAN Solutions’ CMO, Kelly Rogers adds. “We all loved Tony’s idea, but curious one evening I Googled how much money was spent annually on corporate entertainment and discovered the figure to be a staggering $1.2 TRILLION USD. When I then Googled how much it would be annually to end world hunger and discovered that estimates were between $7B and $265 BILLION USD per year, it became clear – something has gone very wrong in the world. When I shared my findings that night (quite late) with the team we all agreed, we had to do something about it. The Make every event a Givent Challenge began to take shape.”
‘Over the last year, we’ve seen more people than ever struggling to afford the basics and forced to use food banks to get by. This isn’t right. We work with partners from across the food sector to support our network of over 1,300 food bank centres to provide emergency food, while also supporting our long-term vision for a society without the need for food banks. We are so grateful to have the support of SDWAN Solutions as we work to meet the immediate need, whilst also tackling the root causes of poverty and food bank use, so that together we can build a hunger free future.’
Sophie Carre, Head of Corporate Partnerships at the Trussell Trust
The SDWANDERFUL GIVENT Challenge
The aim is simple. We ask that companies slightly reduce their events spend and donate that small percentage of their corporate entertainment and hospitality budgets to charities. That’s it! We’re not asking you to take the measures we are – If just 1% of the annual global spend of $1.2 trillion USD on corporate hospitality went to food charities, the $12 billion raised would surpass the lowest estimate for ending world hunger, estimated at $7 billion USD annually. There’s not a lot more that needs to be said, we think.
We wholly support recognising staff and business relationships via events, awards and rewards activities and know how important it is to all get together in a social environment away from work. We simply suggest that a fund-raising element or small cost saving idea be applied, so that just 1% of your businesses spend goes to worthy causes. We know many businesses have extremely worthy CSR initiatives, but we also know our own staff team and guests appreciate our initiative at our FOOD FOR THOUGHT Breakfastless Business Breakfast events – even if they only get a coffee and a pastry to nibble on. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day!
UK October 2021 On-demand – Register Here
We know with any challenge it is imperative to lead by example and so we donate from our own corporate entertainment budget via our FOOD FOR THOUGHT events. For our live and on-demand online events, instead of feeding our most welcome, but well remunerated employed guests, we donate the money that would’ve been spent to on a 4* breakfast in a plush hotel conference room to UK food charities.
European SDWANDERFUL CSR Projects:
From the beginning of 2022 we will be rolling out our FOOD FOR THOUGHT events in the Benelux region and across Spain.
African SDWANDERFUL CSR Projects:
Our future aims (for launch 2022) for our SDWANDERFUL CSR initiative is to support online education and healthcare providers across Africa via our technologies. We will be making further announcements about this in 2022.
