Social procurement, leveraging community value & buying social (David LePage of Buy Social Canada)
"The federal government in Canada spends $20 billion a year buying stuff. In the next 10 years they're going to spend $180 billion on infrastructure. We can add a social value to that, so government spending is really getting the best value for the taxpayer."
Episode #41 of Season 2 of The Social Impactors Podcast features #SocialImpactor David LePage, Managing Partner at Buy Social Canada, a network of partners across Canada which advocates for and promotes a supportive public policy environment and the practice of leveraging community value from existing procurement.
David focuses on contributing to creating a social value market place, where trading generates community capital rather than merely economic capital. His work involves the developing and advocacy for social enterprise, social procurement and social value investing.
