What is a social business?
A social business aims to make a profit and to grow, whilst pursuing a social objective that is just as important as its financial one; a key attribute of social businesses is, therefore, that higher revenues or profits lead to enhanced social, ethical or environmental benefit.
For examples of social businesses, please see our directory of 120 UK social businesses.
