We're a social enterprise...
Commercially focused, and communities-led our UK ecosystem is self-sustaining and at the centre of community evolution.
Socioeconomic impact is central to our business model...
Incorporated in England & Wales our ecosystem operates as a social enterprise in order to sustain the infrastructure and support we provide into communities. We operate commercially with the many businesses who have a vested interest in supporting UK communities (as either suppliers to over £300 billion in UK public spending, or brands serving consumers within UK communities).
Our revenue is generated through:
(1) annual business membership to access and operate within the ecosystem (set according to business annual turnover);
(2) traditional "impact marketing " brand placement advertising where businesses can headline sponsor within 12 regions or within strategic activities to enhance their profile with public buyers.
We Do Not Charge charities & social enterprises, public procurement teams or universities to join and collaborate within our UK ecosystem.
"A social enterprise is not a legal structure but a powerful way of doing business."
The UK government defines a social enterprise as an organisation that applies commercial strategies which maximize commercial operations, for improvements in socioeconomic and environmental well-being.
The Pluggin Ecosystem launched in 2020, with impact investment from Jaysco Holdings Limited to support the start-up until 2023. We operate as a limited company, using profit for purpose and re-investing into the ecosystem's technology, member services and also into charity/social enterprise activities within the UK.
