Driving Change Through Procurement: Highlights from the Social Traders FY24 Impact Report

Migelie Luna |

At TechForGood, we believe business can be a force for good — and that belief is powerfully echoed in the newly released Social Traders FY24 Impact Report. 

As a certified Social Enterprise, we’re proud to be part of a growing national movement that’s reshaping how Australia does business. The FY24 report captures just how much momentum is building — and the measurable impact that’s being made. 

A Record-Breaking Year 

  • $1.1 billion total spent with certified social enterprises (FY18–FY24)
  • $257 million spent in FY24 alone — the highest ever
  • 617 certified social enterprises now creating impact through trade 

 

This isn’t just procurement. It’s progress. 

Impact That Goes Beyond the Bottom Line 

The report breaks down what this social spending has achieved: 

  • 10,000 employment outcomes for people facing barriers to work
  • 918,000+ hours of training delivered
  • 56,500+ tonnes of waste diverted from landfill
  • $88.1 million in community services funded
  • $13.1 million donated to charities It’s proof that buying with purpose works — and it’s changing lives. 

Connecting Business to Purpose 

Social Traders isn’t just certifying impact — they’re making it easier for governments and corporates to source ethically and measure outcomes. 

Initiatives like the Social Enterprise Finder and Grow development program are helping certified enterprises scale, thrive, and embed social value deep within supply chains. 

TechForGood is Proud to Be Part of This Future 

We’re proud to be among these 617 impact-led suppliers. As a B Corp and certified Social Enterprise, we direct 50% of our profit to digital inclusion through our Catalysing Connections program — creating meaningful human connections by donating data, devices, and access. 

Social Traders’ work shows how values-driven business is more than a nice idea — it’s a national movement, and it’s delivering measurable outcomes. 

We’re just getting started.
