Private sector partnerships

We create partnerships that enable businesses to increase their impact in society, meet environmental, social and governance objectives, and deliver supply chain continuity through delivering women’s rights. 

ActionAid addresses gender-based violence, rights violations, climate impacts and precarity, with businesses whose workers – and suppliers’ workers - are at risk worldwide. 

Legislation and reputational damage converge to create the business case for investing to address these issues. ActionAid is ready to work with you to design and implement multi-year partnerships alongside women workers to resolve these material challenges. 

If you need to uphold the rights of your workers, contact uk.corporatepartnerships@actionaid.org.  

Many businesses have considerable brand reach, and so do we. ActionAid’s brand is authentic, bold and inspiring. 

We stand with women and girls, and our authenticity comes from the frontline of our work through the voices of the women and girls with whom we work. Our bold tone means we are courageous and passionate but never confrontational or disrespectful. We speak out on the challenges facing women and girls and show how we tackle them head-on. 

We create marketing partnerships with other brands who want to change the world. Together, we can reach new audiences and maximise impact through promotional activity, events, social media and other communications channels. 

If your brand shares our ambition, then contact uk.corporatepartnerships@actionaid.org to discover more. 

Corporate giving has the power to deliver sustained, transformational change. Businesses that give are role models, showing the best of their sector and driving positive change. 

ActionAid is a powerful partner for driving sustainability. We are ending violence and fighting poverty so that all women and girls everywhere can create the future they want. 

We understand the deep-rooted problems facing women and girls and work alongside communities to find solutions. We ensure women and girls are safe from harm, able to earn a living and claim their rights, and we prioritise their rights and leadership during times of crisis. 

If you want to have a global impact on issues like climate change, gender equality, humanitarian emergencies, economic empowerment and education, contact uk.corporatepartnerships@actionaid.org.  

ActionAid works in consortia with companies on institutional funding opportunities. 

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, ActionAid joined the Hygiene and Behaviour Change Coalition led by Unilever and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. The coalition involved 21 NGO partners seeking to tackle this global health crisis. 

Across Kenya and Nepal, ActionAid worked alongside women-led organisations to raise awareness of the COVID-19 virus and how to prevent infection, distribute vital resources like soap and protective equipment, provide access to water, and tackle gender-based violence and food insecurity. 

ActionAid reached more than 28 million people — mainly women and girls - to provide short-term respite and sustainable solutions as further waves affected each country. 

If you’re considering a specialist partner with global reach to work with women and girls on various development challenges, humanitarian responses, or conflict and peacebuilding issues, contact uk.corporatepartnerships@actionaid.org.
