Exhibition "Social Entrepreneurship"
The exhibition "Social Entrepreneurship" is open from September 30 to October 28, 2024 in the Reading room of the Business Information Cabinet, 3rd floor, room 315.
The concept of social entrepreneurship appeared in Russian legislation relatively recently - in 2019. According to Law No. 245-FZ, this is an entrepreneurial activity aimed at achieving socially useful goals. It should solve social problems of citizens and society. There are many areas of activity of socially responsible business, for example, there are social entrepreneurs who provide jobs for disabled people, pensioners and parents with many children.
There are also such concepts as corporate social responsibility (CSR - a concept in which companies take into account the interests of employees and society as a whole, develop environmental and social projects), ESG strategies (a broader approach to sustainable development, taking into account environmental, social and management principles) and impact investing. At the same time, if CSR and ESG projects are an additional, non-core business activity, then impact projects, on the contrary, are focused on achieving a positive environmental or social result, and for them this is the main activity on which they earn money.
