Case Study: Copperpoint Mutual
CopperPoint Mutual participates in Source AZ.
Today, they source 82% of their goods and services from other Arizona companies, which indirectly support an additional 3,600 Arizona jobs.
While they’re spending $100M, they know their dollars are having a $500M impact on Arizona’s economy, which means a stronger, more diverse and resilient Arizona.
The bonus: They saved 1% on their total budget and got 12 glowing media spotlights for their efforts.
“The fact that CopperPoint Mutual makes a sizable share of vendor purchases from Arizona companies greatly increases the multiplier effect in terms of the share of economic benefits that stay in Arizona. These local vendors, in turn, are also more likely to make purchases in-state, resulting in a cascade of economic benefits to the state.”
