Activity Introduction
We all know that businesses are about providing goods and services in exchange for money. We also know that it is usually the responsibility of governments and non-government/non-profit organisations to solve social problems like crime, unemployment and environmental problems like habitat loss and pollution. However, wouldn’t it be great if businesses could help find ways to address these social and environmental problems while also making a profit? Learn from the people already doing it.
