Client Testimonials
The idea to form Social Enterprise Commitment came from two sources. One was to respond to the increasing awareness of Triple Bottom Line Accountability and Corporate Social Responsibility by corporations. Many corporations now wish to have a statement about their Corporate Social Responsibility in their annual reports. Indeed in the United States there has been a distinct trend where market capitalisation and share prices have increased with public statements about Corporate Social Responsibility by listed companies.
The second source is actually to produce more revenue to enable additional resources for people with disabilities.
The essence of Social Enterprise Commitment is its register of highly experienced and highly credentialed consultants. Our consultants are experts in their respective fields. We are providing a broad range of expertise relevant to corporate and government needs. And our clients continue to show their appreciation.
