Making the ‘S’ in ESG Simple: Foremost Partners with InKind Direct
Foremost
The powerhouse behind pioneering cleaning companies
At Foremost, we’re always looking for ways to help our customers make a positive impact through their everyday business decisions. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with InKind Direct (IKD) – the UK’s leading product giving charity, founded by HM King Charles III.
This collaboration has been forged in response to what we’ve been hearing from many of our customers: while reporting on environmental and governance aspects of ESG is becoming well established, the social element can often be the hardest to demonstrate. We wanted to change that, and make it easier for our customers to show the real difference they’re making in people’s lives.
Supporting Communities, Reducing Waste
InKind Direct redistributes donated products to thousands of charities and community groups across the UK. These organisations support families and individuals facing hardship, ensuring that essential everyday items reach those who need them most.
At the same time, this work helps reduce waste and promotes a circular economy, preventing perfectly good products from going unused or ending up in landfill.
How it works
Through this partnership, Foremost customers can now allocate a percentage of their quarterly spend to donate our products directly to In Kind Direct. It’s a simple, impactful way to contribute to communities while fulfilling social responsibility goals.
In return, you’ll receive a detailed impact report showing exactly how your contribution has helped, including the number of families supported and where across the UK your impact has been felt.
A Win for Business, People, and the Planet
This initiative brings together what ESG is all about:
- Environmental impact through waste reduction and product reuse
- Social value by supporting vulnerable communities
- Governance transparency through measurable, reportable outcomes
We’re now stocking two key products from the FabLittleBag range to help you offer a smarter, cleaner washroom experience:
It’s a meaningful, measurable, and manageable way to build the “S” in ESG into your procurement practices.
Join Us in Making a Difference
By choosing to support In Kind Direct through your Foremost spend, you’re not just purchasing products – you’re helping families, strengthening communities, and demonstrating leadership in responsible business.
Together, we can make every purchase count for more.
