Our definition of a "social business" is a mission
driven enterprise that makes money, while benefiting
society.
In business school, students are taught that there are two types of organizations: (a) for profit, which only makes money; and (b) non-profit, which helps people, but does not make any money.
Recently there is a new concept, called a social business that makes money, while helping people, called a "social business". It is a hybrid of a for profit organization and a non-profit organization.
Examples of "social business ": are micro-credit to the poor (founded by Nobel Peace Prize winning Dr. Muhammad Yunus founder of Grameen Bank), The Body Shop (when it was first founded for more environmentally friendly cosmetics) and Plumpy’nut (a nutritious food bar created by André Briend to feed the malnourished poor).
This is also tied into the concept of “creative capitalism”, by not only generating wealth, but also benefiting society.
Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) already represent USD $3 trillion in assets worldwide and is the fastest growing sector of the finance industry.
