Social entrepreneurship isn’t just about doing good in the world. It’s about doing the right thing. It’s about changing the status quo. It’s about challenging deeply entrenched norms, power dynamics and misguided truths which serve a minority of people. Social entrepreneurship is new and emerging. It is not one type of business model. And yet time and time again I hear social entrepreneurs falling in to narratives that would assume it's one type of model, one type of solution, one trajectory, one reality.

Well as someone who has experienced differently what is possible as a social entrepreneur and has a different narrative I thought it was about time I shared it here on the podcast.

When I started as a social entrepreneur I used to think measuring your social impact was something that could be done later on, at the end of the year or programme we were delivering. But then I realised not having our social impact data meant we couldn't communicate the difference we made to our stakeholders and customers. In this episode I share why it's essential to measure your social impact as a social entrepreneur, and how it helps build trust with your customers and attract them in the first place.

In this episode, Evelina and Malin share how they use their Methodkit for Sustainable Organisations to help organisations measure their social and environmental impact.
