Is running a business all about profit? That may have been true in the past, but companies today have become more integrated with their communities. As the world grows more connected, a global shift in mindsets takes hold from a commitment to only shareholders to a focus on all stakeholders.

As a sector developer and ecosystem builder, the Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise, raiSE, nurtures and grows Social Enterprises by providing ﬁnancing options, capacity building programmes, and networking opportunities. raiSE also seeks to connect Social Enterprises and intermediary organisations from the people, public, and private sectors to collaborate for greater social impact.

In this podcast, we’ll shine a light on how businesses can do good authentically and strategically, so that doing good becomes a value creator instead of a cost center. In each episode, three thought leaders will share their insights on the topic of doing good and social entrepreneurship.
