Social Traders is a leading industry body for social enterprise and social performance, established in 2008. We certify and support social enterprises across Australia to increase trade revenue. Social enterprises are businesses like any other, but they exist to intentionally solve social or environmental challenges.

We support business to drive social performance in more ways including procuring for impact, embedding fair and inclusive employment practices and establishing initiatives to better support communities. Our unrivalled social enterprise data and reporting capabilities enable businesses to track, measure and quantify their social impact.

We’ve successfully built a national social procurement market and have supported over 300 of Australia’s largest businesses and four state governments to build certified social enterprises into their supply chains. There has been $1.1 billion spent with certified social enterprises since 2017.

By 2030 our goal is to unlock $5.5 billion in contracts for social enterprises - creating over 44,000 jobs, 6 million training hours, and deliver community services and donations of $128m.
