Alternatively labelled as fourth sector, hybrid organisations and social businesses, social enterprises choose to exist at the interface between for-profit and non-profit sectors, and use that position to address social and ecological issues while also striving for economic prosperity. These enterprises may be for-profit, non-profit, or both through multiple entities. Many forms of social enterprise are emerging across the globe, and experiences from UN Global Compact’s work suggests they have the power to bring key stakeholders together to develop innovative and entrepreneurial solutions to some of our most complex global challenges. Join us to find out more about the growing trend in social enterprise, ask questions of experts working in the field, and gain insights from the latest research.
