?? Today is World Sustainable Procurement Day—a reminder that every purchasing decision is an opportunity to drive ethical, transparent, and responsible business practices. At Working Capital Fund, we invest in solutions that empower businesses to source responsibly, prioritizing sustainable and ethical #procurement. Two of our portfolio companies are leading the way: ? Lilo—Revolutionizing sustainable hospitality by offering eco-friendly, ethically sourced hotel supplies that reduce waste and promote circularity. Lilo also helps buyers choose products with validated responsible sourcing claims, ensuring fair labor practices and ethical production. Customers place 40% fewer orders with Lilo through better predictions and fewer shipments, reducing waste and saving costs. ? Provenance—Powering trusted #sustainability claims at scale through a B2B2C SaaS platform connecting sustainability to every purchase. Provenance estimates they influence $1.9 billion in marketing budgets for sustainability-marketed goods. At WCF, we enable scale and impact through technology-driven solutions like Lilo and Provenance—because sustainable procurement is more than compliance, it is transforming global supply chains.

The Supply Chain Innovation Fund
关于我们
Working Capital Fund is an early-stage venture fund investing in solutions that address inequity and economic injustice for marginalized workers through supply chain transformation. The Working Capital Fund was established in 2017 with a unique mission and a highly-differentiated thesis about how to support systemic improvements in respect for labor rights. At Working Capital, we identify opportunities to accelerate the development and deployment of innovative, market-based solutions to meet the growing corporate need to protect vulnerable workers and source responsibly. To do this, we invest in early-stage market catalyzing innovations that improve worker outcomes by accelerating greater supply chain accountability and visibility. Working Capital Fund enables businesses to respond and implement operational change with rigor and at scale, initiating a world where supply chains work for everyone. Working Capital Fund was initially incubated by Humanity United, and founded by The Omidyar Group, a diverse collection of independent organizations and initiatives.

How do we build resilient supply chains? What is the role of social procurement in the current geopolitical environment? And what does it mean for companies to partner with social entrepreneurs? We will touch on many of these discussions during the World Sustainable Procurement Day. One insight we will share, is that 19% of all material supply chain events are linked to social issues, outpacing environmental concerns. This is data from our State of Social Procurement 2025, published in January together with 18 partner organizations in the sector. Tune in on Thursday, 20 March, for more details about social and sustainable procurement. https://bit.ly/4htArlE Thank you to the organizers behind this fantastic event, Mélissa de Roquebrune, Jaime H Paiva, and the team of The Sustainable Procurement Pledge.
