Abstract [en]

The Social Business model combines a non-loss system and the purpose to approach a social or environmental problem. Furthermore, Social Businesses could be the ideal model for addressing the current social and environmental challenges existing around the world. However, until this date, evaluating the impact of these social businesses has not been successful, something that limits their resources, growth and emergence. This study seeks to analyse Social Businesses impact through the development of a novel evaluation system. 

For this purpose, the whole research is based on the Triple Bottom Line, a framework that allows the evaluation of the environmental, social and financial elements. A qualitative methodology is followed and the findings are based on data gathered from six current Social Businesses operating globally. Building on the data collected and the performed analysis, the authors conclude that the Social Business model perform positive impacts on the communities where the companies are operating, as well as, impacting on the three elements of the Triple Bottom Line, regardless of their main focus or core activity.
