There is no universal definition of social enterprise (SE). In general, an SE is a business to achieve specific social objectives such as providing the products or services needed by the community (such as support service for the elderly), creating employment and training opportunities for the socially disadvantaged, protecting the environment, funding its other social services through the profits earned, etc. Its profits will be principally reinvested in the business for the social objectives that it pursues, rather than distribution to its shareholders. |
