Working Lunch: Buy Social

Thursday 14th May 2020, 12noon – 2pm.

This will be a virtual meeting - link will be sent to participants in advance.

Businesses are increasingly looking to purchase from social enterprises who can provide high quality products and services, whilst delivering social and environmental value to their communities. The challenge is how can we support social enterprises to access these markets effectively and what are the benefits to businesses of opening up their supply chain to social enterprises?

At our Buy Social Working Lunch we’ll be discussing how best to open up and build markets for social enterprises, how social enterprises can enhance corporate supply chains whilst increasing their positive environmental and social impact and how businesses can use their purchasing power as a force for good. This discussion will feed in to how we develop two events we will be delivering later in the year.

If you work in procurement, corporate social responsibility or are a social enterprise or social enterprise supporter help us explore these questions and how we can facilitate better connections between large corporates, small businesses and social enterprises.

This event is part of Salford Social Enterprise City’s Buy Local Social Expansion project which is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
