"I support the social business initiative as I believe it is highly important to promote and encourage a positive environment for these enterprises, particularly during times of crisis. A social business is an enterprise whose primary objective is to achieve social impact rather than generating profit. These businesses have a positive social impact on the world around them and strive to be accountable and transparent in their dealings with others. In recent years, they have also created many jobs in various sectors throughout Europe, presently employing over 11 million paid employees. As these enterprises provide important social services in an innovative manner, adequate financial and political support should be readily available to them. The social business initiative proposes new ways of improving social businesses’ access to funding, providing them with a clearer pathway to expansion and growth. The unexploited potential of these enterprises can be explored, finding new ways to identify and overcome our social problems. In times of social or financial crisis, social businesses may help us to uncover creative and fresh solutions to many of the problems we face."@en1
