Why Local?
Localizing your business’ supply chain is an important part of your business’ local impact. You can make change, improving your community and the local economy, by switching from multinational to local suppliers today!
The impact is immediate – local suppliers recirculate double the revenue in the local economy, keeping profits local, creating more local jobs, supporting B.C. suppliers, and amplifying all the charitable giving that BC businesses do. LOCO’s 2013 research found that when you purchase office supplies from a local business, they recirculate 33% of the spending locally, compared to 18% for multinationals, and only 1% when purchasing online.
