We welcome you to join us at our Queensland in-person social enterprise showcase, and networking event, hosted by CPB Contractors featuring social enterprises offering services in construction, maintenance, waste, and sustainability.

You’ll hear from speakers experienced in the ever-growing social procurement marketplace, discussing why they are doing social procurement, what they had to shift in their organisations to do this well, and the impact this has in our communities.

Organisations across Australia are exploring innovative new approaches to achieving social objectives through social procurement. Buying from a social enterprise is one of the most effective ways of breaking the cycle of disadvantage and strengthening Australian communities.

This interactive session will bring together certified social enterprises that provide a diverse range of products and offerings with business and governments members like yourself seeking services in this area.   You will get the opportunity to hear from a range of certified social enterprises and ask questions about their offering and impact.
