SERI will be launching an exciting initiative in the coming week, which may create a new opportunity for your social enterprise to sell goods and services to the corporate sector.
Over the past 10 years, SEUK has built a very successful "Buy Social Corporate Challenge" in which they work with corporates to integrate social enterprises into their supply chain. They currently have 25 corporate partners, who spent a collective £73 million on social enterprises in 2020 alone.
We are delighted to be working with SEUK to share learning and contacts with a view to building a similar initiative here in Ireland. While the social enterprise landscape is different in Ireland, we have identified 5 founding corporate partners. Our partners have asked us to help identify social enterprises, with a view to scaling over the next number of years.
We are currently seeking expressions of interest from social enterprises who can sell goods or services to the corporate sector, with a view to highlighting a selection at a showcase event in the new year.
So what do we need from you?
Register to join the BSCC by completing the form HERE.
We will be in touch regarding the next steps and will continue over time to build our corporate partner base and hopefully create new opportunities.
If you have any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with info@socialenterprise.ie
