15 Sep Fruit2Work as social procurement enterprise
Social procurement is when an organisation utilises its buying power to create social value beyond the purchase itself.
Particularly, by purchasing goods or services from a social enterprise, to generate positive social impact alongside their transactions.
The best thing about buying from these enterprises is that it allows businesses to improve the environment and community while meeting their operational needs.
How Does Social Procurement Work in Every State?
Social procurement varies across states, depending on local priorities, economic conditions, and policies. Some states focus on major infrastructure projects, local buying programs, and delivering local benefits for indigenous businesses.
Social Procurement in Victoria
In Victoria, social procurement enterprises focus on generating valuable and sustainable social impact, including:
Employment: Social procurement enterprises employ individuals who face barriers to employment, such as those impacted by the justice system.
At Fruit2Work, our team has lived experience with the justice system and is now working happily to provide the best quality fruits in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Gold Coast.
Charitable Support: Procurement decisions made by businesses contribute to social and environmental goals.
As a registered charity and certified social enterprise, Fruit2Work meets all the criteria for social procurement spending.
Sustainable Practices: Organisations must consider environmental impact and support enterprises with green initiatives.
At Fruit2Work, each fruit scrap from our fruit boxes becomes part of a sustainable cycle contributing to a greener future.
