Let's talk about Social Enterprise [Online event]

[THIS EVENT IS A WEBINAR.]

The BCCT is co-hosting a webinar on Social Enterprise with one of our valued members, KPMG. The webinar comes at a crucial time for social enterprises as increasing light is being shed upon the importance of this sector during a time of COVID lockdowns and the financial difficulties that come with it. 

Social Enterprises differ from traditional businesses in that they often work towards achieving a social objective and keep the interests of their community at the forefront of their business model. As a result, this mission based measurement sets them apart from the solely profit-driven ideals of traditional businesses. 

In this webinar we will have two speakers sharing exciting insights into social enterprise thinking, as well as key observations in the successes and difficulties of social entrepreneurship in both Taiwan and the UK.

Niven Huang

As the Managing Director of KPMG Sustainability Consulting Co., Ltd. Niven Huang will share some key observations in the growing social innovations movement in the Asia Pacific region, with special emphasis on Taiwan. Even in these challenging times, Niven hopes to uncover the silver lining by drawing attention to potential opportunities. 

Steven Parker

Our former CEO and current CEO at Cottingham International Ltd, Steven Parker is a passionate advocate for social enterprises and will highlight some success stories from the UK, the pioneer of social entrepreneurship. Based in Taiwan, Steven can also provide insight into the consensus in Taiwan, drawing links to BCCT's Better Business Awards and finally, why social enterprises are the future of work.

This Online Workshop will be conducted primarily in English and Chinese.

社會企業 與傳統企業的不同之處在於，社會企業通常致力於實現社會目標，並將社會利益置於其商業模式的最前端，環繞在經濟、環境、與社會且永續經營的新商業模式，以促進社會問題能被有效降低或解決，並回饋社會的使命使他們有別於傳統企業以利潤為導向的理想。
