What is a social enterprise?
Social enterprises are businesses that help to address social issues in the community. They reinvest the majority of their profits into the business to help achieve their social purpose. Examples include Hire up and Vanguard Laundry Services. According to recent government data, there are close to 300 social enterprises in Queensland.
About the Social Enterprise World Forum
SEWF’s goal is to grow the global social enterprise movement in order to accelerate our transition to a new global impact economy.
