When we started Go Negosyo, our mission was to help solve the problem of poverty in the country through entrepreneurship. Recently, we’ve seen a growing number of entrepreneurs whose negosyos provide solutions to a specific social problem, and will ultimately also lead to overall poverty reduction. We call them social entrepreneurs. These noble entrepreneurs run negosyos differently, working instead to address some of the most pressing problems of our country.
People such as Tony Meloto and Bam Aquino have already established their own social enterprises, and this is a movement that Go Negosyo strongly supports. But we also see the lack of awareness on the importance of social entrepreneurship, and as one of our major agenda this year, we wish to create more awareness. Through a concept called Corporate Social Innovation or CSI, we aim to educate more negosyantes on how they can incorporate a social development model as part of their existing business model, so that private companies can be more proactive in developing our country. We see CSI as a more sustainable approach than Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR. Unlike CSR, CSI is not seen as a separate initiative of the business; instead private companies incorporate a social value into their operations which will result in innovative and better business. It could be outsourcing a particular stage of production to a depressed community, or sourcing raw material inputs from a group of farmers the company is helping, or allowing out-of-school youth to be the people manning outlets.
