Definition of Social Entreprise

Social enterprises are revenue-generating businesses that, whether operated by a non-profit organization or by a for-profit company, have two goals:

  1. To achieve social, cultural, community economic or environmental outcomes; and,
  2. To earn revenue.

On the surface, many social enterprises look, feel, and even operate like traditional businesses. But looking more deeply, one discovers the defining characteristics of the social enterprise: mission is at the centre of business, with income generation playing an important supporting role.

Social enterprises have six defining characteristics:

  1. Having a social purpose or purposes.
  2. Achieving the social purpose by, at least in part, engaging in trade in the marketplace.
  3. Not distributing profits to individuals.
  4. Holding assets and wealth in trust for community benefit.
  5. Democratically involving members of its constituency in the governance of the organization.
  6. Being independent organizations accountable to a defined constituency and to the wider community.
