What is my social purpose?

We all start businesses for different reasons, and for many of us there is a personal reason beyond profit – a cause and drive related to our history, our life experiences and our own values. If an enterprise has a social or environmental purpose at its core it is a social enterprise. Social enterprises focus on impact: they are businesses which change the world for the better.
