LOCALIMUS

The business in a nutshell

Localimus is a company offering a practical, flexible and innovative digital catering solution to firms for professional events, company lunches, etc.

 

THE MISSION

Localimus wanted to develop a CSR strategy within its company in order to obtain B Corp certification. In the course of our work with Localimus, we proposed a workshop on the theme of sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This workshop was an opportunity to raise the teams' awareness of CSR and to identify the areas in which Localimus could make progress and take positive action. Then we helped the teams to complete the B Impact Assessment questionnaire of B Corp.  We worked hand in hand to roll out an action plan aimed at achieving B Corp certification. At present, the W-agency team is still supporting Localimus on the road to B Corp certification. Finally, we supported Localimus in carrying out a carbon footprint of their meals in order to compare their service with traditional meals and thus demonstrate the positive impact of their alternative.

SUMMARY

KEY MOMENTS

  • In order to raise awareness of CSR and sustainable development among the Localimus teams, we organised a workshop on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the entire company team. The main objective of this workshop was to establish Localimus Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy by identifying the main SDGs that relate to their business. Then we proposed a collaborative brainstorming session to the whole team to reflect on the influence their activities could have on the SDGs and determine how they could contribute to them. As a result of the workshop, Localimus was able to identify 6 SDGs and integrate them into their CSR strategy.

  • During 2022, we began to support Localimus on the road to B Corp certification. We began by assessing the company's CSR maturity using B Corp's B Impact Assessment (BIA) questionnaire. Following this initial analysis of the ESG maturity of Localimus we developed a tailor-made action plan based on the 5 key areas of the BIA (governance, employees, community, customers and environment) proposing several missions to be implemented by Localimus. To date, we are still helping Localimus to implement this action plan, and the company has already managed to increase its score. We will therefore continue to support them until their B Corp certification is finalised.

  • As part of our work with Localimus, we also carried out a carbon footprint assessment of their meals so that we could compare them with the carbon footprint of meals from traditional canteens, orders from online platforms and individual meals. The result of this impact measurement showed that Localimus meals have a less carbon impact than the others, thanks to Localimus commitment to quality products, local production and an intelligent production process that limits food waste.
