Celebrating Our Mid-Year Impact: Social and Environmental Achievements
At Connection Crew, we believe that delivering exceptional service should go hand in hand with making a positive social and environmental impact. That’s why we’re excited to share the latest results from our mid-year impact review, showing how working with us is helping to drive real change - without compromises.
Our Clients are Making a Difference
Our clients value more than the high standard of service we provide. They also value the clear, measurable progress we make towards our mission of ending homelessness and creating a more sustainable future.
Thanks to this, in the first half of our current reporting year alone - December 1st, 2023, to May 31st, 2024 -, we’ve:
Hired 49 people affected by homelessness: Providing life-changing opportunities for those who need them most.
Delivered 12,243 hours of social impact on-site: Making a real difference in the lives of our impact crew.
Accounted for 59,314.2 kg of CO2e emissions from site: Through our Carbon and ESG Levy, we’re reducing our environmental footprint and helping enhance clients' sustainability credentials through the supply chain.
These achievements are more than numbers.
They represent the real, tangible, positive change that every single job with us is making possible. Simply by booking our crew, our clients are getting top service along with environmental and social impact in one package.
Part of a Bigger Picture
Working with us at Connection Crew creates immediate and sustained impact. It creates meaningful, living wage work for the long term.
Since 2005, working with our clients has meant that we’ve:
Supported 446 people affected by homelessness into work.
Delivered over 240,920 hours of social impact on-site with our clients.
Removed 670 tonnes of CO2e from site since 2021.
Every single project we work on contributes to these milestones - whether it's a 2-hour call or an 8-week build.
Why This Matters for You
We understand how important it is for you and all our clients to demonstrate progress towards ESG goals.
When you choose Connection Crew, you’re getting top-notch service and embedding social and environmental sustainability into your supply chain - because we believe that they go hand-in-hand.
By working with us, you’re directly supporting people affected by homelessness and those who face barriers to work, as well as contributing to the Carbon & ESG Levy which accounts for and drives down CO2e. This drives impact through your supply chain, something stakeholders and clients have been pushing to see more and more, and that they will recognise and appreciate.
That’s just one of many reasons that we share our impact: making it easy for our clients to showcase their contributions both internally and externally.
Whether it’s a feature in the internal company newsletter, an excerpt in a tender doc or RFP, or a highlight on social media, we encourage our clients to share and celebrate the difference they're making by working with us.
What's Next After the Mid-Year Report?
Early next year, we’ll share our full Annual Impact Report.
For clients who have worked with us enough to contribute over a week’s worth of social impact (equivalent to over 37.5 hours of on-site work delivered by our impact crew) and who are part of our Carbon & ESG Levy, we also provide individualised impact reports.
These will detail specific contributions to both people and planet, offering clients even more tangible insights into the difference they’re making.
For now, we'll leave you with a simple number, and invite you to say it out loud: 12,243 hours of social impact in 6 months.
Ah, that sounds pretty great, doesn't it?
