Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has become a hot topic across organisations of all sizes. At its core, DEI represents a shared value to be supportive of individuals across race, ethnicity, abilities, genders and sexual orientation.
DEI initiatives traditionally focus on internal human resource practices but it's expanding into supply chains as organisations realise, they can have an even bigger social impact. More organisations are running supplier diversity programs - purchasing of goods and services from businesses owned by, or that assist, underrepresented groups.
This is where social enterprises come in.
They provide employment and support for marginalised groups; serve a social or economic need in the community; or reinvest their profits in a community initiative.

- How social enterprises are leading the way on DEI in Australia's workforce
- The impact and value being created
