What is a social business?


Our definition of a "social business" is a mission driven enterprise that makes money, while benefiting society.

In business school, students are taught that there are two types of organizations: (a) for profit, which only makes money; and (b) non-profit, which helps people, but does not make any money.

Recently there is a new concept, called a social business that makes money, while helping people, called a "social business". It is a hybrid of a for profit organization and a non-profit organization.

Examples of "social business ": are micro-credit to the poor (founded by Nobel Peace Prize winning Dr. Muhammad Yunus founder of Grameen Bank), The Body Shop (when it was first founded for more environmentally friendly cosmetics) and Plumpy’nut (a nutritious food bar created by André Briend to feed the malnourished poor).

This is also tied into the concept of “creative capitalism”, by not only generating wealth, but also benefiting society.

Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) already represent USD $3 trillion in assets worldwide and is the fastest growing sector of the finance industry.

Notice: The Green Stock Exchange (GREENSX) is designed as a collaborative system for bringing together investors, issuers, companies, non-profit organizations and people interested in small eco-friendly, socially responsible and sustainable businesses, including those in the creative industry (music, art, movies, performances). The Green Stock Exchange is a “Web 3.0 eBAY.COM AUCTION STYLED” venue to allow for trading of shares directly between investors of SEC exempted Regulation A, SB-1, SB-2, small company offering registration (SCOR) shares and carbon trading under the United States Securities Act of 1933.

The Green Stock Exchange does not act as a stock broker-dealer, nor is a licensed broker-dealer. We also do not give advice on the merits of a trade or promote the shares traded or negotiate prices for the shares traded. Furthermore, investors are warned of the risk of liquidity since the shares on the Green Stock Exchange are not traded on any well known registered securities exchange or through NASDAQ; there is no guarantee that investors will be able to sell the issuer ’s shares at the price paid or at any particular indication of interest.

This is not an offer of shares or a solicitation of an offer to buy the shares in any jurisdiction where it has not been qualified or lawful. No sale of shares may be made in any state unless pursuant to qualifications or an exemption from qualification, which also includes, Rule 254 of Regulation A, which allows an issuer to “test the waters” for a prospectus offering through a pre-offering solicitation of interest.
