This year the Social Purchasing Portal (SPP) will be hosting its 3rd Annual SPP Networking Expo. On March 30th, 2016 join the SPP at the Richardson College for the Environment for a trade show style networking event in the Power Corporation Atrium. The event is free and open to the public!

Do you think of yourself as an ethical shopper? Then come down and see what businesses are committed to Community Economic Development in your area. For businesses looking to increase their corporate social responsibility this event is a must! With over 40 suppliers the SPP can cover almost all of your business purchasing needs, from office supplies to catering, from couriers to construction the SPP has it covered!

• Is your business hiring? Join the portal and meet the organizations working with community members looking for employment.
• Find the services and stuff you need – while supporting the local economy AND jobs for marginalized people at the same time.
• Booths featuring Winnipeg social enterprises, co-ops and small businesses with a social purpose will highlight the wide array of goods and services available right here in the city to assist in your bid to purchase ethically.
• Admission is free. Enjoy snacks from Diversity Foods – an SPP supplier!

From catering to crafts, cars, coffee, and couriers, these are the services that you – and your workplace – buy and use every day of the year. See how YOU can make a difference with every purchase you make.

ONE SMALL ACTION - ONE BIG RESULT!
