At AFS, we understand the unique place of social enterprises and non-profit companies and organizations in the modern economic and social space. Our specialization in NPOs, CSOs and NGOs stems from our desire to support organizations that have a positive impact on society, the economy and the environment. We understand the specific needs and challenges they face, and are committed to providing integrated solutions that promote their growth and sustainability.
What is the difference between Social Enterprises and For-Profit Enterprises?
Social enterprises, unlike pure for-profits, focus on achieving social, environmental and cultural goals, with profit being a secondary purpose and invested in enhancing their social work. Through their operation, they contribute to improving social cohesion, protecting the environment and economically empowering vulnerable groups, offering solutions to social problems that are often not addressed by the public or private sector.
