Buy Social USA is the social impact procurement intermediary for the US - we support companies, governments, universities, hospitals, churches and other organizations to buy everyday goods and services from certified social enterprise sellers that reinvest more than 50% of profits in social or environmental impact. We were founded in late 2019 and are setting up networks of social enterprise sellers in cities based throughout 5 pilot states - California, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio and Florida. Buyers can purchase our social procurement support services to help them identify sellers that can be brought into their supply chains, learn how to add impact to existing purchasing policies and capture the impact data that their purchases create. We work in collaboration with other global partners like Buy Social Canada to ensure that international companies can buy with confidence based on clear and transparent global definitions, and local governments can share best practice and insights into the community benefit achieved by social procurement. With the death of George Floyd sparking an international focus on racial injustice, and the global Covid-19 pandemic creating mass unemployment, there has never been a more important time for us to use our purchasing dollars to create community regeneration, employment for those most in need, benefits for our environment and a reduction in racial inequality.
