Business is getting ethical. It is estimated that social enterprises comprise five percent of the whole UK economy, with a combined turnover of £27bn and businesses with an ethical or green dimension are becoming increasingly powerful and valued by customers. In 2006 the Organic food market was worth £1.6bn, double the amount in 2000 and sales are forecast to hit £2.7bn by 2010.

So how do you start a social enterprise and where are the future opportunities? We hear from four of Britain 's most successful social and ethical entrepreneurs on their experiences

Richard Reed is co-founder of Innocent Smoothies.
