Social enterprise describes any non-profit, for-profit or hybrid corporate form that utilises market-based strategies to advance a social mission.
Many commercial businesses would consider themselves to have social objectives, but social enterprises are distinctive because their social or environmental purpose is central to what they do.
Rather than maximising shareholder value their main aim is to generate profit to further their social and environmental goals.
