One of the 12 key actions to boost the single market in European Commissioner Barnier’s Single Market Act concerns promoting social business. As the internal market is based on a “highly competitive social market economy”, the Commission considers the time has come to include actions that will gear towards a more inclusive, socially fairer and a more environmentally sustainable growth. At a time when Europe sees an increase in new business models that allow societal concerns to take precedence over the objective of financial profit, the Commission is taking steps to create a more conducive environment for social entrepreneurship. |
