SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS
The accelerator helps them build sustainability credentials they can use with other customers too.
The accelerator is already producing results. Intuit says it has supported 40 small businesses end-to-end through the programme, with more moving through the pipeline. Suppliers have used the accelerator to strengthen brand awareness and improve responses to requests for proposals – making the programme both a climate intervention and a competitiveness tool.
“ We serve small and mid-sized businesses through our products, and as such, we want to ensure that we give those businesses an opportunity to be suppliers of our company,” Debbie explains. Intuit has been able to showcase these businesses as sustainable suppliers –“ win-win”, as Debbie says.
Community impact in Los Angeles Intuit’ s sustainability strategy also extends beyond its own operations and supply chain into local communities, especially around the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The venue is the home of the LA Clippers basketball team, and the surrounding area has become a focus for place-based impact.
Intuit looked at local needs through a sustainability lens and identified food access and urban heat as priorities.
