What is a Social Enterprise?
- Most entrepreneurs are singularly motivated by making a profit. A social entrepreneur is driven more by passion to solve a social problem, and only uses business as a mechanism to solve the problem.
- Social enterprises are characterized by their "triple bottom line" - utilizing business practices that lead to social, environmental, and economic profitability.
