Social Procurement

We know how procurement decisions can shape not only an organisation, but a community, and how a shrewd social procurement strategy can not only create savings, but ongoing community impact.

One solution to enhancing the connection to your community can be achieved by maximising your social procurement policy.

Social procurement plays an important role in any progressive procurement strategy and is becoming increasingly viewed as a “must have” rather than a “nice to do”.

If you’re already undertaking a social procurement policy, you’re aware of the positive outcomes this approach creates and the ripple effect they have throughout the community.

genU has seen firsthand how the benefits flow in multiple directions, and our multi-service approach means partnering with genU can tick a range of social boxes for an organisation while you only have to deal with one partner to deliver on the due diligence and quality outcomes. It’s bang for your ratepayer buck, with tangible benefits you can report to your community.

The social good is simple: creating employment, growth, and learning for local people with disability. These decisions for the ‘greater good’ filter far and wide as the positive experiences of one person can grow roots throughout the community.

genU Business Enterprises and Training operate as a social enterprise that creates meaningful jobs and inclusive education for people with disability to help them reach their potential.

We have been officially recognised by Social Traders, an industry body for social enterprise and performance for our reliable workforce and high-quality services.
