Mission-Driven Enterprises
Mission-Driven Enterprises are organizations that prioritize a specific social, environmental, or community goal alongside their business objectives. Unlike traditional businesses that focus primarily on profit, these enterprises aim to create positive impacts while achieving financial sustainability. Their missions often guide decision-making, operations, and stakeholder engagement.
These enterprises can take various forms, including non-profits, social enterprises, and B Corporations. They often measure success not just by financial performance but also by the effectiveness of their mission. Examples include companies that promote sustainable practices, support local communities, or provide services to underserved populations, all while maintaining a viable business model.
