Harness the power of your purchasing to grow the co-op and social economy sectors and increase your impact

Every purchase has an economic, environmental and social impact, whether intended or not. Social procurement is about capturing those impacts and seeking to make intentional positive contributions to both the local economy and the overall vibrancy of the community.  As a co-operative and member of the social economy you can harness the power of your purchasing to grow the sector and increase your impact. Purchasing is more than an economic transaction, it’s an opportunity to transform communities. 

Presented by Buy Social Canada. Buy Social Canada is the national leader in educating, advocating and engaging in social procurement projects, advancing impact through the power of buying.
