Social enterprises of various shapes and sizes across the country have served as partners in the execution of those agendas. \u003ci\u003eSelling Social \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the experiences of these enterprises in social procurement and social purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSelling Social\u003c\/em\u003e presents the findings of a three-year Canadian research project detailing experiences of work integration social enterprises (WISEs) selling their goods and services to organizational purchasers, including governments, businesses, and non-profit organizations. Drawing on survey findings and interviews, the book explores a diverse group of social enterprises from across Canada, showcasing their successes and their challenges based on real-life examples to aid social enterprises that are considering this path. The book emphasizes the importance of including social and environmental considerations in procurement and purchasing decisions, particularly at larger scales and through public policy. In doing so, Selling Social extends the understanding of social enterprises beyond their social and economic outcomes and into the broader movement towards responsible procurement and purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Selling Social\u003cbr\u003eAndrea Chan, Shelley Lepp, Annie Luk, Jack Quarter, and Jennifer Sumner\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I: Overview of Non-profit Social Enterprises, Social Procurement and Social Purchasing\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
