Helping global corporations drive social, economic and environmental value through core business activity.
About us
telos is a social enterprise set up to help global corporations drive social, economic and environmental value through core business activity. The telos team were responsible for creating and building the pioneering Buy Social Corporate Challenge in the UK. The Buy Social Corporate Challenge has supported 35 high-profile businesses to spend over € 1 billion with social economy organisations over the past ten years. This gives us unrivalled expertise in how to drive and broker deals between the social economy and big businesses.
Our expertise led us to be commissioned by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship to edit and co-author the State of Social Procurement report which launched at Davos in January 2026.
telos have also supported government bodies to embed social, economic and environmental metrics across over € 20 billion of tenders. We are looking to take this expertise forward in a global context.
