Social Procurement

Social procurement is about using your purchasing power to support positive social and economic outcomes. At 深夜福利站, this involves intentionally selecting suppliers that reflect our values and contribute to our sustainability goals. By engaging with a range of suppliers, including diverse suppliers, social enterprises, and Indigenous-owned businesses, we help advance equity, inclusion, and local economic development. Staff and faculty are encouraged to contribute to these efforts by considering who they buy from in their everyday purchasing decisions.
