 SSP Logo

Developed from the programme’s original launch in 2022, being originally dubbed as the Microbusiness Support Programme – this year’s launch has now transformed into the Supplier Support Programme. 

The social enterprises and microbusinesses enrolled onto the 2024 SSP have been specially selected to introduce new innovative products and services to Lyreco with great social value – offering over 20 products and 2 services, across 4 different product categories. 

Here at Lyreco UK & Ireland, we are also proud members of Social Enterprise UK’s Social Connect Programme – integrating and collaborating further with the social enterprise community.

"At Lyreco, helping our stakeholders to deliver community benefits and additional social value is critical to us as a business and a major aspect of our Lyreco Goodness programme. Social Value is about enhancing the wellbeing of current and future generations, and this includes supporting our supply chain. One of Lyreco’s key sustainability objectives is around supporting our communities, and our Supplier Support Programme is included in this. Working and investing in microbusiness and social enterprises helps strengthen our industry and leads to enhanced social value in many ways."
