A Brand New 365 Days to Inspire

By: Anesa | December 31, 2015

2015 at Socialbox.biz was a year of innovation and ideas. Our budding social venture started as a simple concept based on a few ideas but now, logistics are in place and customers are flocking.

The same way that people want to work at certain places because of the culture, customers look to do business with the same concept of culture in mind. Socialbox.biz has a widespread culture of helping local communities achieve their highest potential through partnerships, their social agendas and maintaining positive relationships with stakeholders. 

The goal for Socialbox.biz is not only for the company to continue the traditions of social impact internally, the larger goal is to practice what they preach in an effort to inspire other companies to want to take action themselves.

2015 not only brought new partnerships for them, it has also brought a lot of social media changes, like this blog, to keep the lines of communication open so that the communities they serve, customers, and even other companies can benefit.

Not only did they find and figure the types of partnerships that worked, they found corporate projects and created guides that are based on the idea of corporate social responsibility to further the mission. At Socialbox.biz the services to businesses and the culture of being an example will hopefully transition 2016 into the year that businesses in general take stock of where they are and whether a drive for profits is really and truly the main goal.

Happy New Year London!

A tree which can positively impact communities

By Greta (freelance writer)

The log can be viewed as a metaphor for the core of a social impact initiative: its workers. Disadvantaged groups involved in social businesses have the opportunity to gain economic autonomy and learn new skills, which in turn can be applied in other fields. An example of this which has impressed me is Made in Carcere, an Italian social impact initiatives which sells bags and accessories produced by female prisoners, who have the chance to work in a laboratory inside their penitentiary. The project represents not only a source of income and a learning opportunity, but also a space to regain their self-esteem.

Businesses can also have a social impact with their products, which I imagine as fruits of trees. For instance, Grameen Danone offers low-cost yoghurt enriched with micro-nutrients to decrease child malnutrition in Bangladesh.

Lastly, at the extremities of branches, there are flowers: profits. In this last case, social impact initiatives benefit communities by reinvesting their earnings in projects tackling social issues. In the interesting case of hybrid businesses, the for profit part of the organisation generates revenues to be reinvested in the non-profit branch. A social social impact initiatives of this kind I have always admired is Plain Ink, which publishes children’s books in Italy promoting inter-cultural understanding and integration; and uses the profits from sales to finance educational programs in rural India and Afghanistan.

After recognising the potential positive impact of social social impact initiatives, I think that the real question we could ask ourselves is if social impact initiatives can better achieve these objectives than other types of organisations, such as traditional models of NGOs.

In my opinion, two aspects could be considered.

The first one is financial sustainability. Most social social impact initiatives are not –or not only- funded with donations and institutional grants and, thus, they might ensure a more prolonged impact. Of course, a business structure implies all the difficulties related to marketing strategy; but I think it frees organisations from the need to please donors’ requests and enables them to be faithful only to the core principles of the enterprise, which give to products the added value appreciated by customers.

The second aspect is flexibility. As far as I am concerned, it seems to me that social impact initiatives -due to their size and financial structure- can more suitably transform themselves in response to changes in variables of social problems. I believe that adaptability is a core value in projects aimed at achieving positive impacts, because of the crucial influence of specific local features on social issues. By way of example, I could mention the experience of Selene Biffi, a social entrepreneur appointed by the UN to write a primary school book in Afghanistan. After acknowledging the high illiteracy rate, she realised educational comics would be more effective; and, later on, decided to open a school of storytelling, a traditional Afghan art with which traditional social and cultural heritage is preserved and which, in Biffi’s view, can convey positive development messages.

Socialbox.biz is developing processes and ideas to solve a social problem as an effective social impact initiatives. Developing expertise, infrastructure, blue prints and leading by examples is very precious, and it enables those aspects to be applied in a number of future projects. I very much welcome commitment by Socialbox.biz  in support of disadvantaged groups it intends to reinvests its profits in.

Finally, It is also especially interesting to explore the impact large corporations with massive resources have on peoples lives and local communities and to assess the  positive effects such businesses have such as their work with social impact initiatives and the most effective means to communicate these practical examples and results.

SPECIAL FEATURE – SocialBox.biz and Their Constant Positive Impact

By: Anesa | November 24, 2015

There are various companies in this world that pride themselves on multiple things such as how large the company has become since inception, but not many can say they put advancement of society as first with their practices.

Now, you may be wondering why exactly having another socially-focused company is relevant. The companies that are environmentally cautious tend to be large-scale manufacturers . There aren’t many companies that base their mission and values on being environmentally and socially focused.

The team that founded SocialBox has put in place a number of initiatives that provided disadvantaged people with opportunities and access to computers and internet in the day centers for older people and homeless people and refugees who received rehomed computers, keeping the team’s mission in mind, and the also provided training.

At SocialBox.biz they have many initiatives on the way such as computers for homeless shelters and for young unaccompanied refugees to help with their education activity to name a couple.

The team that founded Socialbox is responsible for winning  awards for outstanding contribution to society and life in London from the former Mayor of London, and commendations for various innovations that improve the lives of those who need it the most.

Let’s be honest, lots of companies are doing good things in this world, but it takes a special kind of company to dedicate their entire work to maintain a healthier and better environment and society. SocialBox is doing a great job and they have committed majority of their profits to these activities, hopefully this sets the pace for other much larger firms to follow.

The many ventures of SocialBox are just the beginning and many people, including myself, look forward to many, many more. Their website can be found at https://www.socialbox.biz/
