Week 10: Entrepreneurship in Sustainability


Entrepreneurship in Sustainability




Social Entrepreneurship + Eco Preneurship = Sustainopreneurship
In today’s post, I am going to share about Social Entrepreneurship + Eco Preneurship = Sustainopreneurship. This is another term for Social Enterprise. The objective is to create an enterprise that caters to the need of the Social and Eco well-being of the community.
So why do we need such Entrepreneurship? This is so as man social problems have been surfacing out, e.g climate change, poverty etc. Especially when more and more conferences and meeting of the different leaders of the countries show the importance of reducing poverty in emerging economies; creating sustainable production and consumption patterns etc.
Therefore, there is a need to change public perceptions about social enterprises in Singapore. This is so as many regard such enterprises as forming the basis for a viable business instead of contributing their part to the community. Hence, there is an urgent need for the public to know the importance of social enterprises and the social impact that is needed in the world. Also, if the public recognised the effort of social enterprise, it would definitely encourage more youth and more businesses to do good and thus, form a caring culture.

Hence, despite the different perceptions formed on SEs, there has been a huge growth in interest in social enterprises over the world with more people wanting to do something more.
