Social entrepreneurship and its impact on the environment

Social entrepreneurism refers to a process in which entrepreneurs build or change institutions at the local community level and, by expressing useful solutions, take action to reduce social issues such as poverty, illiteracy, environmental degradation, etc. Social entrepreneurcy responds to the social needs of societies by reorganizing human and economic assets and is an acceptance of social responsibility resulting from the rapid development of societies. Social entrepreneurs, who have unique characteristics and new ideas, create positive consequences in the social arena by rethinking the economic activities of the society and directing its profits to the local community. The presence of social entrepreneurs in different fields reduces social tensions and anxiety and paves the way for the development of local communities. If we consider environmental development as a planned effort to produce assets such as physical, human, social, financial and environmental capitals, social entrepreneurcy provides the tools for this development by organizing the resources available to address environmental issues. In this way, social entrepreneurship develops the environment through entrepreneurial education, strengthening health indicators, security, business creation and youth empowerment.
