Corporate purchasing worldwide represents a trillion-dollar opportunity to turn global supply chains into a vector for positive social and environmental impact.
To unlock this potential, it is necessary to redefine how corporations and large organizations interact with social enterprises.
Through effective connections and collective intelligence, we collaborate to create tools that increase the volume of purchases between large corporations and impact businesses.
Based on ecosystem articulation, consultations, and research carried out by Ecoa since its conception, we identified two impact theses to unlock impact purchasing in Brazil:
Development of products designed to address market demands and gaps, such as mappings, matchmaking tools, research, and more.
Formation of working groups to discuss key themes and produce materials for ecosystem use, such as Evaluation Criteria, Best Practice Manuals, among others.
Organization of events focused on sector needs, including business rounds, networking events, and forums for ecosystem-wide discussions.
Collaborative initiatives with Impact Ecosystem Enablers to deliver plural and comprehensive outcomes addressing sector challenges.
A knowledge hub to support and inspire companies and impact-driven businesses to transform purchasing into socio-environmental value.
An in-depth analysis of how corporate purchasing can become a powerful instrument for social and environmental impact in Brazil.
A curated selection of studies, reports, and surveys that deepen understanding of sustainable purchasing and impact value chains.
