SUMMARY:Buying the Good Stuff: Creating a Marketplace for Social Enterprise

This practice is known as social procurement and global spending has surged to around $14 trillion. It matters to consumers too – research shows that despite rising living costs\, 61% of consumers will pay more to an ethical business that has a social impact. \nIn WA\, some businesses are making significant strides in both economic growth and social impact\, tackling issues such as homelessness\, domestic violence\, mental health and employment for marginalised individuals. \nJoin us on Thursday\, June 20\, from 6pm-9pm for our event Buying the Good Stuff: Creating a Marketplace for Social Enterprise\, where WASEC will showcase businesses making a positive impact. We’ll explore what’s needed to make ethical purchasing mainstream to create a thriving marketplace for social entrepreneurs in Western Australia. \nThe evening will be chaired by journalist Emma Young from WAToday. Emma has covered the social impact space extensively throughout her career and donates half of the royalties from her latest book to the environmental think tank\, Beyond Zero Emissions. \nSpeakers: \n\nFranco Randazzo\, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director\, Loop Upcycling \nFrank Mitchell\, Director\, Kardan Construction\nBronwyn Bate\, CEO and Founder\, Mettle Women Inc. \nAnthony MacShane\, Founder\, Reboot Australia\nAndrew Davy\, Assistant Director\, Social Procurement & Sector Capability\, WA Government\nBen Kent\, Senior Manager of Community Impact and Engagement\, RAC\n\n\nTicket includes:  \n\nA welcome drink courtesy of Spinifex Brewing Co.\, supporting Veteran and Indigenous communities with native-infused brews\nLight snacks from Gather Foods\, an award-winning First Nations catering company offering mentorship to Aboriginal youth\nA chance to explore “Metamorphoses\,” an exhibition showcasing artists from Western Australia’s south\, emphasising connections to nature\n\nFORM Gallery and Cafe occupies one of Western Australia’s oldest surviving railway buildings\, built in 1886 as a goods shed for the railway line.
