We have some incredible news to share…
Procure Impact has been named to Fast Company’s 2025 World’s Most Innovative Companies list! We ranked 5th in the Social Good category, "for turning hotel-room products into a valuable work opportunity for overlooked members of society."
In less than three years, Procure Impact has grown from an idea to a movement — creating thousands of hours of meaningful work for overlooked Americans. This recognition from Fast Company is a huge milestone for purpose-driven business, proving that social impact and business success can go hand in hand.
A Milestone Moment
Fast Company’s list isn’t just about business success — it’s about game-changing ideas that reshape industries and create real social impact. Past honorees include innovators like Hulu, Robinhood, BYD, Shopify, Spotify, and Alibaba — companies that were recognized early for their potential to disrupt and redefine industries.
Fast Company’s editorial team evaluates companies based on not only financial success but also the broader impact of their work — how it influences industries and creates positive change in society. Being named to this list reinforces that purpose-driven procurement isn’t just a feel-good idea — it’s a powerful business strategy with lasting impact.
The Power of Purpose-Driven Procurement
Procure Impact connects businesses with high-quality, American-made products created by suppliers that employ individuals facing barriers to work — including people with disabilities, refugees, veterans, survivors of trafficking, and those affected by homelessness, trauma, or incarceration.
Through our Dignity of Work Pledge with the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), over 100,000 hours of paid employment have already been created for vulnerable populations. The goal is to reach 1,000,000 hours of work by 2030 — demonstrating the scale of change that’s possible when businesses make purpose-driven decisions.
A Collective Achievement
This recognition reflects the strength of the growing movement toward more ethical, responsible business practices. Hospitality companies that prioritize social impact are proving that it’s possible to drive profits while making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Procure Impact’s recognition by Fast Company validates that progress is happening — and that the future of business is purpose-driven.
This is just the beginning — and we can’t wait to see how this momentum will grow in the years ahead. Thank you for following along as we continue to build a more inclusive economy, one purchase at a time. For information on joining our marketplace: contact@procureimpact.us.
