BIC’s GSC Ambassadors: Inspiring Change Through Local Communities

 

At BIC, our Writing the Future, Together program reflects our dedication to education, sustainability, and community impact. As part of our commitment to improve the lives of 250 million children globally through education, the BIC Foundation and our Group Supply Chain (GSC) Ambassadors are making a significant contribution to our broader mission. These team members go beyond their day-to-day roles within manufacturing, bringing our values to life by driving impactful education initiatives in their local communities. 

The GSC Ambassadors is a global network consisting of 14 team members acting as champions within their local sites. They play a key role in BIC’s efforts to make a difference, whether by donating school supplies, renovating classrooms, or helping students access new opportunities. Recently, we asked some of our Ambassadors to share their thoughts on the role they play and the positive changes they are helping create. 

 

Why Our GSC Ambassadors Take Action 

For our GSC Ambassadors, the opportunity to give back is deeply personal. It’s not just about representing BIC but about creating meaningful connections between their work and the communities they serve. 

“As a GSC Ambassador, what motivated me the most was the opportunity to create a bridge between the factory and the humanitarian and educational initiatives of the BIC Foundation. It is a unique opportunity to contribute positively and tangibly to the well-being of society.” 
— Quentin Tanter 

“Knowing that my actions within the ambassador community have the power to make a difference in people’s lives is my main motivation. Even simple actions can change realities.” 
— Tamires Meireles 

 

Making a Difference: One Community at a Time 

At BIC, we believe that even small actions can lead to big changes. The GSC Ambassadors are at the forefront of this belief, working on projects that deliver real value to local communities and foster educational growth. 

“All the projects we do at the plant have a huge impact, especially those that promote the education of children and young people. It opens doors for them to develop their careers and make a difference in society.” 
— Tamires Meireless 

“When I see the faces of laughing children and share useful information with my colleagues, it brings a sense of fulfillment. A particularly moving moment for me was receiving a letter from school children we supported to produce a theater play—it truly showed the impact of our efforts.” 
— Yasmine Kahlsi 

 

The Most Rewarding Moments 

The role of a GSC Ambassador comes with many fulfilling experiences. Whether it’s through helping children gain access to education or supporting local schools, these ambassadors are constantly reminded of the power of their efforts. 

“One of my most rewarding moments was working on a project in Nigeria that brought energy and supplies to children with special needs. The excitement and joy on their faces were unforgettable and knowing that our efforts have a lasting impact is incredibly meaningful.” 
— Oladimeji Sodunke 

“The most rewarding experience was contributing to a donation of school supplies for a school in Madagascar. Knowing that our contribution can ease the burden on families and improve the educational experiences of children is extremely satisfying.” 
— Quentin Tanter 

 

Writing the Future, Together 

At BIC, we believe that everyone has the potential to contribute to something greater. Our GSC Ambassadors are living proof of that belief. By harnessing their passion, expertise, and commitment, they are not only helping to shape the future of their communities but also empowering future generations.
