Buy Social Corporate Challenge

Join a group of high-profile businesses aiming to collectively spend £1 billion with social enterprises to maximise the positive social, economic and environmental impact of their procurement.

Social enterprises are businesses which trade for a social or environmental purpose. They are businesses which put people and planet first. Engaging with social enterprises can bring a range of benefits to your company’s supply chain.

More than 80% of our corporate partners agree that sourcing from social enterprises:

• Improved environmental sustainability in the supplier base
• Increased supplier diversity
• Created external recognition
• Brought innovation into the supplier base

The Buy Social Corporate Challenge is now in its ninth year and over this time £477 million has been spent. This trade has helped create around 4,515 jobs – many of these going to individuals who face barriers to the labour market.
