Most organisations want to grow social value. The challenge is knowing how and tracking the outcomes.
Social enterprises are businesses that prioritise purpose over profit. They employ people who face barriers to work, support communities, and reinvest their profits into their mission. When you buy from them, your buying power does more.
We help you embed and scale social procurement across your organisation - turning it into a strategic, value creation program. Translate your spend into tangible community outcomes, independently verified with our trusted reporting system.
Social Traders members are scaling impact with certified social enterprises.
Over the last 8 years, Social Traders has recorded:
$1.4 billion+
spent with certified social enterprises by Social Traders members.
