Buy Social Canada is thrilled to release a new report, From Transaction to Transformation: How Canadian Organizations Buy and Sell with Impact.

This report offers an update on the evolving social procurement and social enterprise landscape across Canada. Drawing from survey data and stories, our research illustrates how organizations and enterprises are driving community impact through the way they buy and sell goods and services.

This year marks the first time Buy Social Canada has combined our annual Buy with Impact and Sell with Impact reports to better reflect the connection between procurement policy and social enterprise opportunity. See past Buy and Sell with Impact reports here. The stories shared in this year’s report showcase how social procurement can drive both economic and social value when social enterprise suppliers are prioritized.

Our research shows clear progress and signal exciting opportunities ahead. As more organizations move from intent to action, social procurement and social enterprise are poised to reshape how value is defined and delivered across Canada’s marketplace.

Buy Social Canada is committed to continuing this journey alongside purchasers and suppliers. By working together, we can unlock the full potential of the marketplace to be a force for social good. Now is the time to buy and sell with impact.
