We certify social enterprises and offer services to support their growth and impact.
Social Traders certification confirms a social enterprise has been verified by Social Traders. This ensures that the enterprise meets the definition of a social enterprise in that it:
By becoming Social Traders certified we’re able to connect social enterprises that can supply products, services and social impact with our business and government buyer members, as well as other stakeholders interested in working with social enterprises.
Becoming Social Traders certified attracts an annual fee of $500 (exGST) and makes it easier to be recognised as a social enterprise.
Various stakeholders, including government and other businesses, rely on third party certification when they work with social enterprises. It’s how they can manage the risks of suppliers misrepresenting themselves as social enterprises.
There are market advantages for social enterprises and so there is an increased significance in legitimate use of the label.
Benefits of being Social Traders certified:
When an enterprise is certified we provide them with access to a logomark that confirms this relationship.
By extending Social Traders brand equity to the trusted social enterprises we work with, this trademarked certification logo provides assurance to business and government buyer members that Social Traders has endorsed a business as a social enterprise.
Once certified, we provide social enterprises with access to the logomark and marketing guidelines.
