            • Assessment

            • Global standards

              The five global standards make clear what a social enterprise is, providing a simple and transparent framework recognised worldwide.  

              They outline that social enterprises do five things:

              • Exist to solve a social or environmental problem
              • Prioritise purpose, people, and planet over profit in operational decisions 
              • Have a self-sustaining revenue model
              • Reinvest the majority of any surplus towards their purpose
              • Choose legal structures and financing that protect and lock-in purpose long term

              State and territory peak bodies in Australia use the global standards to verify social enterprises.

              To become a Social Enterprise Member, organisations must meet the minimum threshold across the standards: including at least one point on each standard, and two points on the revenue standard.
