How Businesses Can Drive Social Change
What if your next business decision could help create a job for someone with disability? Here’s how you can make a sustained difference.
From large corporations to growing enterprises, every business has the power to create meaningful change.
While most business decisions are often based on cost, convenience and quality, there’s an increasingly important factor being added to the mix: impact.
Whether you’re choosing who to hire or who to buy from, each choice is an opportunity to do business for good.
By embracing purpose-driven procurement, you can support disability employment, strengthen local communities and boost your brand’s reputation – all while accessing high-quality, professional services.
The Power of Purpose-Driven Procurement
Purpose-driven procurement is transforming how businesses approach supply chains.
It means selecting suppliers based not only on cost and performance but on the social value they create.
Australian businesses and governments are spending more with certified social enterprises than ever before, reaching a $1.1 billion milestone over the past seven years, according to data from Social Traders.
Social Traders, a leading Australian industry body for social enterprise, states the cumulative seven-year spend has created 10,000 jobs and more than 918,000 training hours for people otherwise shut out of work. This contributes to a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable economy.
When you partner with a social enterprise that reinvests its profits into the community, your organisation directly contributes to lasting change.
Everyday needs, like document destruction, inclusive staffing or outsourced packing and logistics, become powerful tools for social good.
Why Social Enterprises Matter for Small Business
A social enterprise operates like any other business, with one key difference – its core mission is to drive positive social change.
That change might focus on disability employment, sustainability or reducing disadvantage in local communities.
When you work with a social enterprise like Endeavour Foundation Business Solutions, your organisation becomes part of something bigger.
You’re not just outsourcing a task, you’re helping people with disability to thrive in supported workplaces and are helping to shape a fairer, more inclusive society.
The Ripple Effect of Business’ Social Impact
Here’s how your business decisions can create a ripple effect of social impact:
- Create disability employment: Partnering with inclusive organisations helps break down barriers and opens up opportunities for people with disability.
- Strengthen local economies: Social enterprises typically hire locally, reinvest profits and provide sustainable career pathways.
- Build brand loyalty: Today’s customers want to support businesses that reflect their values. Ethical, values-based procurement improves brand trust and public image.
- Motivate your team: People want to work for companies that care. By being a purpose-driven business, you can boost morale, retention and team culture.
