Social Entrepreneurship is the implementation of innovative business practices which do not seek profit as the “bottom line” at the expense of individuals or the environment. Rather, the aim of social entrepreneurship is to improve the overall social and economic status of employees and the local community while operating an environmentally responsible business. Social entrepreneurship is characterized by ethical business standards, the payment of fair wages, providing a safe working environment for employees and a determination to solve, not create, social problems. Social entrepreneurs act as “change agents” for society, seizing opportunities to improve existing systems, inventing new approaches for production, and by creating solutions to change society for the better.
