The Difference Between a
Social Enterprise and an
Ethical Business
It is worth noting the marked
differences between a social
enterprise and an ethical business.
A social enterprise centers itself
around a social mission and uses
commerce as tool to maximize
sustainability and impact.
An ethical business centers itself
around creating profit for its
shareholders but takes an ethics-
based approach to issues like the
environment, trade practices, and
community development.
3 Social Enterprise Types
1) THE INNOVATION MODEL

a company that directly

addresses a social need through
innovative products
.
2) THE EMPLOYMENT MODEL

a social enterprise that serves the

common good by employing
disadvantaged people at a fair wage.
3) THE GIVE BACK MODEL

a social enterprise that serves the

common good by giving back for
every purchase made.
Examples of Social Enterprise
 This hip socio-ecological enterprise hires
people in need to build bikes made from
locally-sourced bamboo. When you buy a
Bambike, you not only support the cause,
but you also walk (or ride) away with a
sturdy vehicle that doubles as a work of art.
But if you don’t want to commit to buying a
bike, you can still ride one at the Bambike
Intramuros Ecotour.
 ANTHILL is an acronym that stands
for Alternative Nest and Trading Hub
for Ingenious Little Livelihood Seekers.
This social enterprise promotes Filipino
culture and tradition through high-end
indigenous textiles. Their unique
fabrics support sustainable
employment in rural communities.
Loudbasstard
 Handmade by a community of artisans in
Cebu using local bamboo and rattan,
Loudbasstard produces chic, electricity-free
sound amplifiers. Each piece is hand-cut, hand-
sanded, hand-dyed, and hand-packaged—
ensuring craftsmanship and quality for every
customer. Additionally, this social enterprise
provides instruments for musically gifted
children from indigent communities.
The Paper Project
 The Paper Project provides employment for
Filipino women escaping from prostitution. The
women create environmentally sound, locally
sourced paper handicrafts such as greeting
cards, and sell them for a profit internationally.
In addition to providing the women with
employment, The Paper Project provides them
with guidance in self-esteem, stress
management, finances, and self-defense.
 It’s no surprise that Filipinos love iced tea.
But this all-Filipino, all-natural tea brewery sets
itself apart from its competitors with its
philosophy and practices. Not only does it
employ the nanays of a Bulacan community in
order to promote sustainable living, it also
promotes native ingredients such as lemongrass
and pandan in order to celebrate being "crazy in
love with our country." You can grab a brew at
various resellers nationwide.

Collection
 First
Harvest
Taclob
 This social-enterprise started as a
response to the need for employment in the
wake of typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). The
sleek, utilitarian backpacks are made from
upcycled materials, and are produced by
survivors of the typhoon. With each bag you
purchase, a child affected by the typhoon will
receive a floating backpack full of school
supplies.
Theo & Philo
 Using cacao from Davao and sugar from
Bacolod, Theo and Philo proudly sources their
ingredients from local farmers, thus positively
impacting rural Filipino communities. And
instead of opening a huge factory full of
machines, the social enterprise consciously
chooses to hire people to handcraft chocolate
bars in a “micro” factory setting. Their
commitment to quality is undeniable, and it is
apparent in every bite.
