Buy Social Canada Social Purchasing Partners, Engage Members and BCSPI Members are invited to join Buy Social Canada to explore the topic “Boost your impact with social enterprise purchasing stories from across Canada.”

Tuesday, August 27th

Online via Airmeet

Many organizations are increasing the inclusion of social enterprises within their supply chains. In September 2024 we will be launching our newest resource, the Guide to Social Enterprise. This CLASP event will highlight the immense impact that can be created when you buy from social enterprises. We sometimes hear, ‘no social enterprises are big enough to contract with us’ or ‘no social enterprises sell goods or services I am buying.’ This session will spotlight success stories of social enterprises which have successfully won competitive bids and contracts with large purchasers. 

After we hear from speakers, there will be time to discuss the content together, as well as space for networking amongst Social Purchasing Partners and BCSPI Members in Airmeet’s virtual tables.

Social Purchasing Partners and BCSPI members will receive calendar invitations to join the event.
