While the term “making the world a better place” might feel overused and cliche, social entrepreneurs see this mission as the purpose — rather than a convenient side effect — of their business.

Social entrepreneurship also lends itself to providing a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. If a company is devoted to good causes, it is going to attract employees who value diversity and equality.

Investors are increasingly looking at a company's mission and vision, and the world-changing impact it can make, as well as their bottom line. Investors funding purpose-driven social entrepreneurship directly impact the ability to access resources for better problem-solving.

Social businesses can have a major impact on a country’s economy, drawing public and political attention to important issues and prompting government policies that open up the gates to general welfare.

Social value is the positive impact you see in a society, which can be measured in terms of people and the environment. Socially conscious companies are building their businesses around the problems of marginalized people and finding ways to involve them in the company's success.
