Buy Social Canada

Every purchase has a social, environmental, cultural and economic impact, whether intended or not. The collective effort of leveraging social value from purchasing has a powerful and positive ripple effect on our communities. At Buy Social Canada, we believe in building community capital: healthy communities that are rich in human, social, cultural, physical and economic capital. We are redefining how goods and services are bought and sold. By building relationships between social suppliers and purchasers, Buy Social Canada is leading the movement for community capital creators across the country. Buy Social Canada works with Governments of all levels, institutions and corporations across Canada to develop and implement social procurement policies and practices. We produce open-source tools and resources supporting organizations to advance on their social procurement journey including the Guide to Social Procurement and a series of Social Value Menu tools. Buy Social Canada also provides a national third-party social enterprise certification with an open source directory of certified social enterprises available at www.buysocialcanada.com
