The world of Social Enter5rise
“Social
Entrepreneurship
begins
with
the
simple
act
of
star>ng
a
business.
Anyone
can
become
a
social
entrepreneur.
All
you
need
is
drive,
passion
to
help
others,
and
a
great
idea.
Successful
businesses
solve
problems.”
I
love
how
I
can
pin-‐point
two
sets
of
water
problems
encountered
on
a
daily
basis
in
the
UK
and
Africa
and
use
a
business
model
to
solve
these
problems.
It
is
also
amazing
to
see
other
like-‐minded
social
enterprises
solve
issues
that
are
important
to
them.
We
support
each
other
through
knowledge
and
encouragement.”

“Social
enterprise
to
me
means
crea>ng
a
business
that
promotes
innova>ve,
flexible
and
crea>ve
solu>ons
to
depressing,
difficult
social
problems.
The
leader
of
a
social
enterprise
is
a
trail-‐blazer
who
is
driven
and
determined
to
effect
change
and
to
make
a
visible
social
impact.
Having
not
even
known
what
a
social
Enterprise
was
four
years
ago,
I
am
now
a
living
and
breathing
social
enterprise
in
everything
I
do
-‐
developing
ideas
that
generate
income
but
that
ensure
social
transforma>on.
I
love
pioneering
ventures
that
get
the
work
done,
cut
out
all
the
middle
management
and
whose
employees
and
leaders
are
not
afraid
to
have
courageous
conversa>ons.
Social
enterprises
and
their
craYy
crea>ve
leaders
grow
the
social
economy,
invest
in
people,
care
passionately
and
will
always
turn
obstacles
into
opportuni>es.
They
have
to
have
a
dual
focus,
LOVE
and
MONEY.
We
both
they
will
create
ripples
of
great
social
and
economic
significance.”
It’s
about
finding
that
happy
medium
where
we
are
crea>ng
innova>ve
products
that
change
our
lives
posi>vely,
but
we’re
s>ll
able
to
make
a
profit.
Social
enterprise
gives
one
person
the
power
to
change
anything
they
think
is
stopping
the
human
race
from
progressing
into
a
living
sustainable
and
fulfilled
lives
by
allowing
them
to
put
people
first.
The
beauty
of
this
is
recognising
that
when
we
put
other
people
first
we
can
spot
opportuni>es
to
crea>vely
solve
problems
in
society.
Ideally
we
would
live
in
a
world
of
super
humans
living
super
human
lives,
where
our
planet
is
environmentally
healthy,
resource
is
in
abundance,
personal
ambi>ons
are
constantly
being
achieved,
poverty
doesn’t
exist
and
we’re
all
equal,
but
we
don’t.
With
social
enterprise
though,
liKle
by
the
liKle
we
can
design
lifestyles
that
realise
these
desires.”

“The
no>on
of
trading
for
people
and
planet
is
the
most
exci>ng
concept
in
terms
of
a
fair
and
more
just
world
that’s
available
at
the
moment.
It’s
an
opportunity
to
do
things
differently,
to
focus
on
societal
change
and
break
away
from
the
status
quo.
If
the
no>on
can
become
mainstream
and
consumer-‐led
I
really
believe
it
has
limitless
poten>al.
Entrepreneurs
from
all
walks
of
life
can
author
new
solu>ons
to
age
old
problems
by
blending
money
and
mission
to
affect
a
fairer
future
for
us
all.”
It
is
the
belief
that
we’re
onto
something
that
could
help
tackle
some
of
the
society’s
greatest
social
and
environmental
challenges.
It
is
a
movement
led
by
the
people,
for
the
people.”
They
are
not
about
charity;
they
are
businesses
that
want
to
be
measured
up
and
prove
their
worth
in
the
marketplace.
A
marketplace
that
will
change
thanks
to
social
enterprises.
The
social
goal
is
not
an
add-‐on
for
them;
it’s
an
integral
part
of
the
business,
without
which
it
wouldn’t
have
a
reason
to
exist.”
Social
enterprise
means
people
can
buy
products
and
services
they
want
and
create
social
change
at
the
same
>me.
For
example,
we
sell
beau>ful
organic
baby
clothes
and
donate
100%
of
our
profit
to
babies
in
need.
Our
customers
enjoy
high
quality
products
and
enjoy
knowing
they’re
transforming
children’s
lives.
Social
enterprise
makes
us
thing,
why
buy
anywhere
else?
Social
enterprise
means
I
can
help
tackle
a
global
issues
I
care
about
-‐
children
living
in
poverty
-‐
in
a
crea>ve
and
passionate
way.
It
means
babies
in
horrific
situa>ons
get
new
starts
in
life.
It
means
doing
my
job,
running
a
company,
seeing
our
profits
in
ac>on
and
enjoying
being
part
of
a
sector
revolu>onising
the
way
we
do
business.
Social
enterprise
is
the
future!”

“Social
business
is
the
economic
opportunity
of
the
21st
century.
The
world
is
living
a
crucial
moment,
poverty
and
exclusion
are
everywhere.
In
emerging
countries,
a
growing
popula>on
needs
to
be
fed,
needs
an
access
to
educa>on
and
healthcare
whilst
the
planet
resources
are
more
constrained.
In
the
mean>me,
developed
countries
are
struggling
to
fight
unemployment,
poor
housing
and
exclusion.
The
current
economic
system
has
proved
to
be
inefficient
to
solve
these
problems.
Social
business
is
an
opportunity
to
answer
world
issues.
It
has
demonstrated,
through
a
pragma>c
approach
and
innova>ve
sustainable
economic
models,
that
is
is
a
convincing
way
to
rethink
our
economic
system.
Social
business
is
not
only
our
way
out
the
crisis;
it’s
also
the
opportunity
of
a
new
world.”
