New times create new needs – and require new solutions

The world is changing – and so are companies. Because when society’s needs change, business must adapt.

The business of business is still business, but the rules of how to stay in business are changing – no matter whether you’re in the business of creating shareholder value, of providing welfare solutions or of making the world a better place.

We believe that sustainable practices that create both economic and social value will secure business and long-term growth as well as the well-being of people and planet.

We believe that social responsibility can be used as a means of generating economic value – and that business can be used as a means of generating social value.

So to us ‘social business’ is about working across the fields of CSR – corporate social responsibility (using social value creation as a means to do business), social innovation (developing solutions to social or environmental challenges) and social entrepreneurship (using business methods as a means to create social value).

These beliefs are the foundation of The Social Business Company® – a purpose-driven and B Corp certified company in business of creating social and economic value for the benefit of society and the bottom line.

Our clients – who benefits from our services?

Social and economic value creation is not limited to a particular breed of companies. The 21st century business mindset is present in all sectors of society:

• Companies do good while making a profit.
• Public institutions deliver welfare solutions and are run like a business.
• Non-profit organizations use market methods to create social value.
• Social entrepreneurs create hybrid organizations with traits from all three sectors.

The diversity within the field of social business is also reflected in our wide range of clients across sectors and industries: ministries, unions, business schools and universities, municipalities, NGOs, business networks and associations, think tanks, trade unions, entrepreneurs, medium-sized companies and multinationals.
