Social Enterprise: building companies with a conscience
18:15 Thursday, 15 November 2007  
Duration: 2:00
From ethical products to companies championing social change, social enterprise is one of the UK's most dynamic business sectors.

As part of Enterprise Week 2007 and in celebration of Social Enterprise Day, the British Library is hosting an evening panel discussion featuring some of the UK's foremost social entrepreneurs, discussing the challenges that they faced in creating their businesses and how they balance their traditional shareholder responsibilities against a wider social agenda.

Our Inspiring Entrepreneurs
