The Problem

You want to shop with a clear conscience

It's important to be able to contribute to the changes you want to see in the world. But how do you 'vote with your wallet' without lengthy research, wading through potential greenwashing statements and accreditations? There are 100,000+ social enterprises in the UK but no one way to shop them all in one place...

The Solution

Create a ripple of positive change every time you shop

At Social Supermarket, we bring together businesses that are a force for good all under one virtual roof, verified by us and our partner Good Market. These social enterprises and purpose-led brands tackle human and environmental issues so you can make a real difference every time you shop.

The Social Supermarket ecosystem

Independent impact-led UK brands

Social enterprises are small businesses frustrated with the state of affairs.
Their social mission is at the heart of what they do, so they're in the business of making a real difference in the world with every purchase. We bring together the very best of them and verify their impact through third parties such as Good Market, SEUK and B Corp. It's our ambition to help them create even more positive impact.

Socially conscious shoppers

Feeling frustrated with unethical companies, greenwashing, online orders that show up in plastic packaging?
We want to make it easier for you to shop without compromising your values or sacrificing on quality. We promise to prioritise sustainability and transparency in everything we do, as do our brand partners. Learn more about our impact and sustainability policies.

Employers with a conscience

It’s long been known companies are big drivers of change. We help them to buy more ethically from purpose-driven brands, as well as measure their positive impact.
Everything from employee Christmas gifts to coffee in the office kitchen can help to get us closer to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.  We see a future where buying social is the ordinary, expected — and measured. Get your company to join the mission.

We exist to enable fundamental societal change

Here, every business is a force for good. Every purchase you make creates a ripple of positive change for people and planet.

Not everyone has the same employment opportunities

Did you know that 78% of autisic adults are unemployed? But when you buy from Harry Specters, 69p of every £1 spent directly goes to benefitting young autistic people and their families through employment, work experience and training.
Shop by brands that create economic empowerment for marginalised people.

Every year 10 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean

But when you buy an Ocean Bottle they collect 1,000 plastic bottles that would otherwise be headed for the sea through a partnership with charity Plastic Bank.

8–10% of global emissions come from food waste

A whopping 44% of the UK's fresh bread goes to waste. But Toast Ale have created a circular model that repurposes one slice of surplus, fresh bread to brew beer — with a longer shelf life.
Shop by brands that repurpose would-be wasted ingredients or materials.

The team at Social Supermarket surpassed our expectations. They sourced at speed and recommended no waste artisanal sari "gift wrap". We were able to share this with our guests via a seed paper postcard, so our guests knew every detail of the gift had them and others in mind – it was purposeful and delivered with care and thoughtfulness.

Social Supermarket offers a unique combination of socially responsible gifts matched with excellent service and great quality. We had great feedback from the many delighted colleagues who received one of their hampers.

We wanted to gift all our employees [...] Social Supermarket suggested plants which were ethically sourced and had a positive social impact [...] We've received fantastic feedback and I look forward to continuing to work with Social Supermarket.

Today we took delivery of some amazing eco-friendly, 100% plastic free cups sourced and pantone matched for us by the brilliant Jamie Palmer and his team Social Supermarket. Later this month these will be appearing in our catering outlets - meaning we will be saving 1817.61kg of Co2 per annum just from switching to reusable cups!

I was looking for leaving presents for our trustees but, as a social enterprise ourselves, we were keen to ensure that any purchases we made supported the sector. The Social Supermarket ordering process was easy, delivery was prompt and best of all, hampers we bought had a great selection of items from social businesses!
S&CC logo
We wanted to find gift boxes that we could send to our new employees [...] The Social Supermarket [...] have been a perfect solution as there's a range of social enterprise products available and placing an order is simple. The feedback I've received about these has been overwhelmingly positive and I'll definitely continue to repurchase.

The range of products and gift options is fantastic, and we were able to customise our gifts so that they were really tailored to our company and colleagues. The service was impeccable, swift and friendly and we were able to arrange delivery very quickly. We would definitely use Social Supermarket again.

We were keen to ensure we stocked products that were ethically and locally sourced, had a positive social impact and supported our local community, so we were thrilled to start working with Social Supermarket to stock our in-room mini bars and other products throughout the hotel. The team are forward thinkers with people and the planet always in mind and it is a pleasure to continue to work together.
