What is a social business?

• The vision of Prof. Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner,

is that many global problems we face today can be solved through

the creation of Social Business.

• This is a form of business that is mainly driven by a cause, rather than

by traditional business school objectives such as profit maximization

with minimal investment and cost reduction.

• The social business concept goes far beyond accomplishing personal

or investor goals. It is focused on the human being and seeks to

achieve one or more social objectives through a company

• Capitalist economy focuses only on maximum profit, minimal investment and quick return

• This system excludes: the welfare of human beings, environmental impacts, reinvestment in education & technology and any non-monetary value added.

The Current Capitalist System

20

• Access to quality education?• Care for the elderly?• Quality of life?• Household debt? • Good moral and ethical values?• Human decency and respect?• Loss of identity?• Corruption? • Alcohol and drugs?• Crime? • Hygiene and sanitary conditions?• Environmental Protection?

The Results

development is an impossible dream• No fair wages in underdeveloped regions

The Results of the Capitalist Economy

Social Business is the solution

“Social Business“ is a viable alternative. It is noble, fair and generous.

• We see the difficulties the world is facing on TV, news• Start a social business today, it is the only solution• Growth with social business is possible• People also grow, reinvesting profits in the business

33

The current capitalist system was unable to focus on the HUMAN BEING,only on profits. The economic crisis in the US and in Europe was predictable because of the lack of social responsibility in the current system.

Creating a "SOCIAL BUSINESS“ is the first step towards a solution.

"When people have the will to change, the economy will also change”

Social Business should be an essential part of the growth-development formula.

Create a Social BUSINESS! It is a commitment to change, it is a cause.

Social Business is the solution

34

HUMANA PRIMUM ... The human first

- “Humanizing Capitalism”

The Goal of a Social Business

35

The human being is first. The true capital lies in each of us, we are what matters. We must educate ourselves, learn, and have respect for each other.

We are born equal.

We have not been generous, let’s give opportunities to all.

There is still time!

Humana Primum
