We are a Social Enterprise
So, What is a Social Enterprise?
A social enterprise is a business entity that operates with the primary goal of addressing social or environmental issues while also generating revenue.
Unlike traditional for-profit companies, social enterprises prioritize making a positive impact on society or the environment over maximizing profits for shareholders. Social enterprises often adopt innovative and sustainable business models to achieve both their social or environmental mission and financial sustainability. The revenue generated by social enterprises is typically reinvested into the organization to further its social objectives. The dual focus on social impact and financial viability sets social enterprises apart from conventional businesses.
