The world has changed. So has business.

Social enterprises are an innovative type of business that exist to create a fairer and more sustainable world. When you make the switch to social enterprise suppliers, you’ll get the same quality goods and services while meeting your social and sustainable procurement objectives.

Social enterprises are present in every industry and NSW Government buyers are encouraged to buy from them.

This session will provide an introduction to social enterprises, social enterprise procurement and Social Traders. All NSW Government staff are invited to attend and we encourage you to bring along your peers and kick start your social enterprise procurement journey.
