Brands we work with
Here at Social Supermarket we love brands with a positive story to tell and an amazing product to match. We don’t compromise on either. Every brand we work with not only creates fantastic products but creates a positive ripple in society. Better buying starts here.
Impact Pillars
We are passionate about creating impact through everyday purchasing. We work with brands who reinvest profits into their social or environmental mission. Some examples include:
- Employment opportunities: we love brands who provide employment opportunities for those furthest from the workplace, for example, NEMI Teas provides employment for refugees.
- Upcycled: giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste, for example, Elvis & Kresse make handbags and wallets from upcycled, decommissioned fire hoses.
- Profits donated: money from each purchase is donated to a good cause, for example, Ocean Bottle who donate profits to Plastic Bank who collect 1,000 bottles for every Ocean Bottle sold.
Verifying our brands’ impact
In addition to looking at each brand’s impact model, we ensure we verify all of our brands’ impact and supply chains independently, as well as through third parties such as Good Market, SEUK and B Corp.
Brands who want to sell on our marketplace, should firstly complete a Good Market application, where you’ll be asked about your employment practices, supply chain and so on. Should you pass, you’ll become a part of the Good Market community of likeminded, ethical brands.

Social Supermarket Impact Label
We also supply a range of corporate branded merchandise, allowing companies to responsibly source branded products with impact. We assess our range against our proprietary framework. That means, products must meet our minimum standards (which include sourcing products from audited factories, using recycled or certified materials and more).
For each product that doesn’t come from a social enterprise within our branded merchandise catalogue, we add a donation to one of our charity partners solving for global issues such as poverty, hunger and waste. Stay tuned as we will bring more details to our website soon.
