Businesses are increasingly willing or expected to contribute to addressing environmental and social issues. In response, lawmakers around the world have facilitated and regulated social enterprises, which pursue a social or environmental goal alongside profit distribution. In addition, a broad array of public and private certification schemes has emerged to signal compliance with social or environmental standards. Based on a broad comparative and economic analysis, this book offers new insights into the critical remaining challenges for social enterprise regulation, such as the trade-off between trust and scalability, the complex agency conflicts, and the (in)efficiency of accountability mechanisms. It also highlights key areas in need of more robust regulation, such as certification schemes and social enterprises' access to finance. The book also explores the relationship of social entrepreneurship with sustainability, and possible remedies, such as shareholder fiduciary duties.
