Who is Nationwide Building Society?
Nationwide is the world’s largest building society, with more than 16 million members across the UK. The organisation offers current accounts, mortgages, savings, and a range of personal finance services. Headquartered in Swindon, Nationwide operates 14 offices across the UK and employs more than 17,000 people.
What products did Nationwide purchase?
Nationwide introduced Hey Girls free-vend dispensers and cardboard troughs stocked with environmentally friendly, plastic-free tampons and pads for employees.
How did Nationwide hear about Hey Girls?
Steve Ross, Assistant Facilities Consultant at Nationwide, led the initiative after attending a Hey Girls employee talk at a procurement event hosted by Social Enterprise UK.
How long has Nationwide been working with Hey Girls?
Nationwide began rolling out Hey Girls products across its offices in May 2022.
Why did Nationwide want to partner with Hey Girls?
When searching for a period product provider, Nationwide was particularly impressed by Hey Girls’ commitment to sustainability. The organisation valued the range of biodegradable products, which support both colleagues and the environment.
We had put together a trial at one of our main admin centres in Scotland. The feedback we got from our colleagues was overwhelmingly positive, so we built a business plan to see if it was possible to roll out across all our administration offices. This has been such a great initiative to work on – I have become very passionate about period dignity and opening up the conversation.
