The Green Social Enterprise Case Study Series provides a detailed exploration of five organisations that have developed trading businesses to deliver on their environmental and social missions.
Undertaken jointly by Social Traders and the Victorian Government through Sustainability Victoria, the case study series build upon the Support and Strengthen Green Social Enterprise report published in August 2011.
The Case Studies Series provides insight into the business models and specific workings of selected social enterprises. They are an educational resource designed to provide equal doses of inspiration and trepidation for the would be social entrepreneur. Establishing a social enterprise is not easy, but those that succeed clearly demonstrate that commercial and environmental aims can comfortably co-exist within the same organisation in the long term.
