Meeting the demands from all sides goes beyond traditional sourcing. It requires a strategic investment into goods and services 鈥� starting with upstream services such as procurement to core operations such as product development and sales to downstream distribution that includes the last mile – from businesses that serve the world鈥檚 most vulnerable people and ecosystems: social enterprises. These organizations prioritize social and environmental good alongside financial sustainability, creating jobs, empowering communities, and fostering responsibility.

Why now?

A recent by Impact Europe, Sattva and 麻豆原创 reveals a clear trend: 80% of businesses see social procurement as a solution to meeting their sustainability goals. This isn’t just about responding to consumer demand. Companies are recognizing the potential for innovation and growth through collaboration with social enterprises.

Take India, for example, a global leader with over two million social enterprises.听 Imagine the possibilities for integrating these businesses into supply chains, not just for social good, but for fresh perspectives and untapped talent.

However, there’s a “gap between intention and action,” as the report highlights. While many companies have adopted diverse sourcing practices, only half prioritize supporting local economies and a circular economy. This disconnect underscores the need for a deeper understanding of social procurement’s potential.

The good news is that the trend is moving in the right direction. The rise of social procurement aligns perfectly with the growing focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets.

For example, social procurement can directly address both the “S” and the 鈥淕鈥� that sits at the heart of ESG by supporting small businesses. This is especially pertinent in India where the report has found that MSMEs form 29% of the GDP and more than 90% of businesses in India are micro and small. This focus on social responsibility not only has benefits for local communities, but also enhances a company’s reputation with investors, customers, and employees who value ethical practices.

The report has also revealed that within India there is a unique context for businesses to integrate small suppliers and businesses in larger supply chains which advances and supports inclusivity. Socially responsible suppliers are often open to innovation and able to adapt faster, leading to a more sustainable supply chain overall, and are much more likely to adopt fair labor practices ensuring ethical treatment of workers throughout the supply chain. This includes safe working conditions, living wages, and respect for worker rights.

By sourcing from businesses owned and operated by minorities, women, or people with disabilities, companies contribute to a more inclusive economy which expands opportunities for traditionally marginalized groups. Strong social practices have the potential to attract and retain employees leading to a more stable and resilient workforce. The benefits of prioritizing people and planet have never been greater.

In terms of SDGs, the report found that social procurement directly addresses 7 out of the 17 SDG goals 鈥� a massive stride forward in achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.

The power of collaboration

Social procurement is more than just a transaction. It’s about building partnerships that create a ripple effect of social impact.

A prime example is Even Cargo, India’s first all-female, last-mile e-commerce logistics provider. By partnering with social enterprises like Even Cargo, businesses can empower communities, create jobs, and drive progress toward a more equitable future. As Yogesh Kumar, Founder of Even Cargo said: “We believe jobs shouldn’t be decided based on gender.” As such, their comprehensive training program equips women with the skills they need to succeed in a traditionally male-dominated field, fostering financial independence and self-reliance.

However, Even Cargo’s journey wasn’t without challenges. Initially, they faced societal resistance to their innovative approach, but perseverance and recognition, including a positive feature in The New Yorker, led to a pivotal collaboration with Amazon. This partnership provided valuable employment opportunities for Even Cargo’s trained women.

Still, Kumar identified a critical bottleneck 鈥� the lack of mobile women in India’s workforce. This realization shone a spotlight on the need for a broader approach to social procurement, one that goes beyond simply hiring from a specific demographic. Even Cargo advocates for creating a more inclusive work environment across the board. This includes promoting gender-balanced warehouses, creating workspaces with amenities catering to both genders, and offering flexible working hours to support work-life balance, particularly for mothers.

Collaboration with social enterprises like Even Cargo offers numerous benefits to corporations.听 Leveraging their expertise allows us to improve our own diversity and inclusion strategies, creating a more holistic and equitable workplace culture.

Building a sustainable future

The future of social procurement is bright. To mitigate challenges and bolster opportunities for these partnerships, we formed a coalition at the Social Procurement Roundtable to activate the social procurement ecosystem in the country, foster collaboration and active involvement of key stakeholders, and advocate for policy changes that promote responsible business practices. These are all key priorities to that underpin 麻豆原创鈥檚 commitment to drive transformation and entrench sustainability to empower businesses to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Businesses of all sizes can embrace social procurement. Intermediaries can play a crucial role in facilitating connections and educating companies on these opportunities. Long-term partnerships with social enterprises offer significant benefits for both parties. Let’s work together to build a more sustainable and equitable future where businesses are a force for good.

鈥淲ith one integrated platform that connects data from farmers through processing, warehouses, and retail, we are transforming the traditional food chain from supplier-driven to demand-driven,鈥� said Karthik Jayaraman, co-founder and managing director at WayCool. 鈥淲e selected听听because it is a flexible, cloud-based foundation for our growing business.听听provides a single source of truth company-wide and across our ecosystem, helping us produce and deliver the delicious food that consumers want on their table.鈥�

The company has already reduced food wastage by up to 96% while improving the average income of farmers by over 13%.

Data Insights Align Food Supply with Demand

Putting predictability and farming in the same sentence might seem like a stretch in a world rocked by disruptions like extreme weather and geopolitical conflicts. However, WayCool orchestrates a groundbreaking collaborative effort. It starts with farmers who produce the fruits, vegetables, and other staples that feed the Indian population and extends to partners, warehouse operations, distribution, and retailers.

鈥淪haring information with our partners in procurement who run processing and warehouse facilities, along with transportation logistics and retail, we can align supply with the right pricing for greater efficiencies and governance that produces the highest quality products,鈥� said Avinash Kasinathan, chief technology officer at WayCool. 鈥淒ata transparency also means that farmers can base field production on actual market demand and consumption.鈥�

Farmer Income Grows with Data-Driven Strategy

WayCool鈥檚 ability to trace products from farm to end consumer provides the company and its ecosystem with forecasting and planning insights based on real-time customer feedback and market demands. Using this connected data, WayCool makes recommendations to farmers on what fruits and vegetables to grow for the highest yields and uptake at the best prices.

Fourth-generation farmer Hari Prasad, located in a village called Karnataka on the outskirts of East Bangalore, is one of the over 200,000 farmers that WayCool provides with detailed cultivation plans.

鈥淯nlike traditional farming, WayCool recommends what to plant, when, and where, letting us know up front what they鈥檒l purchase at fair prices based on harvest time frames and factoring in staggered market demands,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 have to worry about whether or not we鈥檒l sell our yield, and we can calculate continuous earnings in a more predictable and consistent manner.鈥�

Although farmers may have smaller yields, harvesting crops on a more consistent basis throughout the year levels out supply and demand spikes and downturns. If crop prices fall one week and rise the next, farmers can average out major risks with a steadier stream of income over time.

AI-Based Technologies Reduce Waste and Boost Crop Yields

WayCool has infused听AI听capabilities across its digitalized supply chain to increase quality yield and decrease waste. AI is built into the recommendation engine that tells retailers which products on their shelves will sell faster according to store location demographics. In the field, farmers use AI-based image recognition to quickly identify plant diseases and set up treatment plans. -based sensors in the soil send farmers alerts on weather patterns to guide more cost-efficient and sustainable irrigation decisions. The company is exploring generative AI use cases as well.

For WayCool and its partners, sustainable business encompasses the full range of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments. Digitalization has an important role, for example, in regenerative farming practices. Farmers can use data-driven insights to produce stronger seeds for biodiversity, growing crops that are more climate-resilient and use less water and fertilizer in healthier soil.

Looking ahead, Jayaraman is eager to bring WayCool鈥檚 digitalized business model from India to other regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

鈥淭he food supply chain is a huge global market, yet agribusiness is one of the least digitized industries,鈥� said Jayaraman. 鈥淲e鈥檝e experienced how technology is revolutionizing food chains in India, and we鈥檙e excited about bringing people in other parts of the world greater access to affordable, quality food for the next generation of sustainable agriculture.鈥�
