Building the Standard: How Australia’s property industry is investing in real social impact
Not sure what a social enterprise is, or how to work with one? You’re not alone. Social enterprises are businesses that exist to create public or community benefit, and this breakfast is for anyone curious about how they’re changing the way we do business.
On World Social Enterprise Day 2026, Two Good Co brings together Social Traders, Lendlease and Caroma for an honest conversation about what partnering with social enterprise really looks like: what works, what’s hard, and where there’s room to do more.
Social procurement is no longer a niche commitment; it is a measurable shift in how the industry buys. Australia’s property industry is one of the country’s largest supply chains, and when its biggest buyers decide something matters, the market responds.
Hear the national picture from Social Traders, learn from Lendlease’s years of working with social enterprises, and be the first to hear how Caroma is building social impact into its product specifications, in a new partnership with Two Good.
The best part? Every ticket directly funds Two Good Co’s work empowering and employing women who have experienced homelessness, domestic violence or complex trauma, helping create pathways through employment, training and community.
Every ticket purchased for this event will also include a funded meal donation - so the impact starts before the event does.
Hope we see you around the Two Good table.
