ADVANCED INFECTION CONTROL ACROSS
HEALTHCARE SETTINGS Advanced Hygenex infection control products used in hospitals and care homes are now available for dentists, schools, colleges, universities and beauty clinics.

SUPPLIERS THAT FAIL TO LIVE UP TO ORGANISATIONS’ SOCIAL
VALUES WILL BE DROPPED UK business leaders are increasingly turning their backs on suppliers who fail to align with their social values, according to new research from Sodexo.
The survey, commissioned to mark the launch of Sodexo’s Social Impact Pledge 2021, highlights the profound effect the pandemic has had on procurement decisions, with the majority of respondents agreeing that the events of the last year had made it more important to consider environmental and diversity policies when selecting suppliers.

• Hygenex Recoat Antimicrobial Coating System – a spray-on coating that protects surfaces for up to six months against bacteria and viruses, including SARS- CoV-2/COVID-19.
• Hand sanitiser to protect users against COVID-19 and other infections.
• Medical pulp products, including BioCommode, a fully self- supporting medical bedpan that needs no plastic support, so it can be fully macerated, improving infection control.
Now the Hygenex brand has been launched as a separate company in its own right, enabling a wider range of users to gain access to its infection control solutions. Dentists, schools, colleges, universities and beauty clinics will be among the fi rst offered the new advanced products.

The research shows that, while UK businesses are understandably still placing a greater emphasis on factors such as cost, fi nancial stability and cyber security at the procurement stage, social values are increasingly featuring in the decision-making process. More than nine in ten (92%) of those polled said they now vet suppliers on their social values and impact, and 75% warn they would be put off by a prospective supplier that did not publish information about their social values.
There is clearly, however, some cynicism around social value with almost three-quarters (73%) of the 250 UK business leaders polled agreeing or strongly agreeing that
Hygenex Marketing Director Zoe Allen said: “Care professionals will continue to benefi t from specialised products that are powerful, simple to use and easy to dispose of – even in domestic settings.
“Dentists can now access advanced hospital-grade technology and innovation – safeguarding patients and staff and offering exceptional timesaving and effi ciency benefi ts. It’s perfect for practices wishing to set the very highest standards.
“Schools, colleges and universities can protect students and staff with a range of products designed to kill viruses long after application. Education professionals can keep their learning environments safe, fresh and presentable while making budgets stretch further.
“Health and beauty professionals will be able to prepare treatment areas quickly, easily and to standards above and beyond the industry benchmark – providing an unshakeable approach to infection control that can be trusted by therapists and clients alike.”
The new Hygenex company will continue to be backed by DDC Dolphin, a specialist manufacturer of sluice room equipment including medical pulp macerators, bedpan washer disinfectors and incontinence product macerators.

businesses often have a social value policy in place but don’t necessarily follow it. This demonstrates the importance of transparent social impact accounting – evidencing and reporting on achievements.
Encouragingly, a strong proportion of business leaders who responded to the survey made it clear that they are prepared to offer their suppliers support to help them improve their standing and become more closely aligned with their own social values. Almost half (47%) said they are providing suppliers with education and training, 41% are providing fi nancial support and 39% offer mentoring.
