Successful businesses generate profit, but what they then do with that profit can have a big impact on society. We Make Good is a business that makes money, but the company – which describes itself as a social enterprise – uses that money to create job opportunities for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Joan Ellison from We Make Good joined Ryan Tubridy in studio and she described what the company does:
“We Make Good is a social enterprise, Ireland’s first social enterprise design brand. For people out there who may not know clearly what a social enterprise is, we’re a business like any other. We’re profit-driven, we generate traded income, but we’ve a social goal at the end of that. So, it’s really what we do with our profits that makes us different.”
