A Case Study

SOVEREIGN are active partners with programs focussing on health and wellbeing. They inspire thousands of teenagers to believe in themselves and set goals to go after their dreams (initiatives in response to NZ's high rate of school leavers without qualifications – 51% in some areas). In addition they wanted to create something that enabled their advisers, customers and staff to make a social impact relevant to their own communities. So they created Sovereign Spirit.

Anyone can suggest a health charity on Sovereign's website and staff vote to select which charity of the month is supported.

Each month, the support moves to a new region and a new charity is selected to suit that community. With over quarter of a million customers engaged, putting their own networks to use in telling their partners stories, delivers a significant reach for each of the charities involved.
