# Isolated Social Enterprise Models BRAC is a Global Organization Boasting a Bottom-up Method By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-02-22 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brac References: [twitter](https://twitter.com/BRACworld) & [enterprises.brac.net](http://enterprises.brac.net/) BRAC is an internationally-known development organization that is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh but expanded to ten different countries and now affecting about 126 million individuals. What SocialBusiness.org will focus on here, however, is its social enterprise initiatives in part because of the intriguing way in which its evolution is framed according to BRAC. Essentially, the organization explains that since its development of social enterprise -- which spans activities such as poultry, dairy, printing, recycled paper, cold storage, solar, sericulture and sanitary napkin delivery kits -- was created apart from the now global discussion of social entrepreneurship. It's an inside and bottom-up or bottom-out model that has created a unique setting for its goals toward social, environmental and financial sustainability. **Contact Information** BRAC enterprises [website](http://enterprises.brac.net/) BRAC on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/BRACWorld) BRAC on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/BRACworld) BRAC on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/bracusa1) BRAC on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/groups/BRAC-Linked-2197400) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Isolated Social Enterprise Models:** Opportunity to develop unique social enterprise models separate from the mainstream social entrepreneurship discussion. - **Social Entrepreneurship Evolution:** Opportunity to explore the evolution of social enterprise initiatives and their impact on social, environmental, and financial sustainability. - **Global Expansion of Social Enterprise:** Opportunity to examine the global reach and influence of social enterprise initiatives in various countries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Development Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating social enterprise initiatives within development organizations to achieve sustainable goals. - **Economic Sustainability:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in integrating social entrepreneurship into various industries to achieve economic sustainability. - **Environmental Conservation:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in leveraging social enterprise initiatives to address environmental challenges and promote sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainability-Focused International Strategies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haier-group.md) - [Comfortable Stylish Bras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sizeinclusive-bra.md) - [Social Good eCommerce Directories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/socially-minded-companies.md) - [CSR Baking Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baking-a-better-tomorrow.md) - [Social Good Brand Practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dignity-coconuts.md) - [Three-in-One Farming Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-platform.md) - [Franchise Business-Friendly Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-franchising.md) - [Localized Enterprise Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suppliers-recruitment-drive.md) - [Social Isolation-Combating Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthfirst-foundation.md)
