100 Employment-Aware Social Businesses

What exactly does it take to be part of this list of employment-aware social businesses? Well, since we are lucky to have such a great variety -- it takes a whole lot!

From independent living services to roaming refugee restaurants, the category of work is at the center of the business model and practice of these enterprises. While the triple bottom line tends to focus on "people" as one of the main recipients of the social energy, these employment-aware social businesses take it to the next level by focusing not on charity or even giving but rather livelihood. It's about creating happy and healthy job opportunities that are sustainable for everyone involved. The method, of course, is always a little bit different.
