Social Business: a different way of doing business and investing
In recent years, the concept of social business has emerged as a middle road between philanthropy and the pursuit of maximum profit. The idea is rooted in a dual realization: on the one hand, governments and civil society are striving – especially in poor countries – to resolve problems such as food insecurity and insufficient access to healthcare, water, energy and adequate housing. On the other, the principle of maximizing profits is showing its limitations by intensifying pressure on resources, contributing to global warming and widening social inequality.

It is imperative to develop a low-carbon economy in order to meet two major challenges that our societies will be facing over the next decade: how to guarantee an energy supply (under threat from the increasing scarcity of oil resources), and how to meet the climate challenge. It is likely that the combination of these two constraints will lead to a “new industrial revolution” where priority will be given to low-energy consumption and competitive solutions, thus paving the way for new growth strategies in numerous economic sectors.
