Social Enterprise Award

Why a Social Enterprise Award?

Social enterprises use business methods to address societal problems, and despite the seriousness of these issues, many are thriving and reporting growth comparable to conventional businesses globally. Social enterprise is a global trend and represents a form of social innovation that effectively solves social or environmental problems through a sustainable business model. The primary purpose of social enterprises is to pursue public interest and solve social problems without relying on government grants or private sector donations.
​
The development of social enterprises in Taiwan is still in its early stages but is gaining significant attention. Creating a supportive environment for social business development requires collaboration among the public, enterprises, and the government. Only through such cooperation can we encourage continuous innovation and steady growth in social enterprises.
​
The Social Enterprise Award, open to Taiwan-based social enterprises (company limited or company limited by shares) and under the banner of the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei Business Awards, provides an excellent platform to celebrate and share achievements and learnings from organisations in this vital area. This initiative will leverage KPMG’s professional experience in audit, finance, tax, and advisory services, and include professional consulting and incubation programs by connecting our clients’ network. It will create more business opportunities for cooperation between social enterprises, profit-oriented organisations, and potential investors.

Submissions are encouraged to be made by teams but must be submitted under the name of a specific company.
