Becoming an Ākina Impact Supplier

Join us online to find out more about becoming an Ākina Impact Supplier.

A growing number of organisations that purchase goods and services want to use their spending power for good 

These buying organisations don’t always have the experience to know how to assess positive impact, or whether it’s making the difference they want to see. That’s where the Ākina Impact Supplier certification comes in.

If you’re an impact-led organisation that trades with other businesses and/or government AND wants to prove that they make a positive impact, the Ākina Impact Supplier certification is for you.

• Get the positive outcomes and impact you create independently endorsed.

• Prove your genuine impact and contract experience to buyers looking to avoid impact-washing. 

• Join our social procurement programme to connect with other Impact Suppliers and our Impact Buyers

Social procurement is a term used when a buying organisation wants to create additional positive social or environmental outcomes when buying their goods and services. It’s a growing movement and SMEs and supplying organisations are responding by becoming purpose-led.
