What Exactly Is A Social Enterprise?

Here at PURPOSE Jewelry, we are proud to be one of the longest standing jewelry social enterprises out there, creating innovative and compassionate change since 2007.

A social enterprise is a business that is driven by a social or environmental mission, and that uses its profits to achieve that mission. Social enterprises differ from traditional businesses in that their primary focus is not on maximizing profits for shareholders, but on creating positive change in the world.

There are several reasons why you should consider buying products and services from companies that behave like social enterprises. One reason is that these companies are often more socially and environmentally responsible than traditional businesses. Many social enterprises prioritize sustainability and ethical practices in their operations, and they often work to address pressing social and environmental issues. For example, TOMS is a social enterprise that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes it sells, while Warby Parker donates a pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair it sells. Similarly, Dr. Bronner's is a social enterprise that uses organic and fair trade ingredients in its products and supports various social and environmental causes through its profits.

Another reason to buy products and services from companies that behave like social enterprises is that you can feel good about supporting a company that is making a positive impact in the world. By choosing to support businesses that are driven by a social or environmental mission, you can help to create a better world and make a difference through your purchasing decisions.

PURPOSE Jewelry is a social enterprise that is dedicated to using environmentally and socially responsible practices in all aspects of its business. We prioritize freedom in every step of our supply chain and we ensure that all the artisans who make your jewelry are treated fairly and paid a living wage. Not only that, but we intentionally chose to employ women who are escaping from human trafficking.
