Business is getting ethical. The social enterprise sector and businesses with an ethical profile are not only growing fast, but are seen by our politicians as the solution to many social issues. It is estimated that social enterprises comprise five per cent of the whole UK economy, with a combined turnover of £27bn. Such is their significance that the government now has a Social Enterprise Unit, run from within the Cabinet Office. Even hard-nosed venture capitalists now run social enterprise funds and are increasingly investing in clean-energy ventures.
