The organisation provides a sustainable service to businesses by redistributing their surplus for free by saving storage costs (freeing additional space), transport costs and landfill tax.
Any unused surplus can create a wide variety of options to aid those in poverty and social exclusion.
The process is described as ‘simple’ – the company (donor) advises on the kind of items, volume and collection point. GW then actively alerts charities of donated goods and arranges the collection of goods for re-distribution to beneficiaries. All the process is handled by GW.
Post donation, the donors receive free CSR reports documenting whom they have helped and the difference their donation has achieved that they can use, e.g. corporate communications, annual report etc. As of now, GW can also provide CO2e savings on their donations.
