As we observe today, the rise of technological

advancements and industrialization not only gave
rise to our modern civilization, but it also gave rise
to a wide range of environmental issues and
global challenges.
Modern technology has been progressing at
exponential rates, making mass production of
goods as fast as possible. With rapid expansion of
businesses came exploitation and depletion of the
earth’s resources.
SOCIAL ENTERPRISES ADVANTAGES
1. Financial Freedom – the most understandable
of social enterprise’s potential benefits is the
opportunity to get financial sustainability and
freedom.

2. Growth of scope and size of services to

community – under traditional models of
funding through grants and donations,
organizations have a hard time growing the size
or scope of their service.
3. Business can contribute to the mission –
beyond providing entirely financial resources;
social enterprise also gives organizations
opportunities to discover noble ways of
achieving their mission.

4. Perception of the organization by staff and

donors
under taking social enterprise may also have an
impact on how an organization is perceived.
5. Marketing and promotion for these
organizations is also very easy
since a social problem is being tackled with a
solution it is easier to draw attention of the
people and media.

6. Services can be customized

services in whichever section they may be
offered are customized better to go with the
needs of the individual or the problem.
