You can find other "Market with Meaning" but you definitely want to see "Profit with Purpose".

SEE Change...As it happens

Dear Houghton,

Welcome to our Special Second Anniversary Issue. An auspicious occasion, we couldn't have made it here alone. We'd like to thank our ever-committed sponsors - enp and SECC - for their ongoing support, our advertisers, our fabulous contributors - representing the field's most accomplished experts in Canada, the US and the world. And, last but not least, we thank you, our impassioned readers, who keep us on our toes and help reaffirm our profound dedication to this project, despite the challenges we may face along the way.

It seems only appropriate that one of the running themes throughout this Second Anniversary Issue is the challenge of demonstrating social impact and value. We see it in Kirsten Bernas' discussion on the growing adoption of Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology; it underlies Antony Bugg-Levine's discussion on impact investing, and Ecojot's decision to become a BCorp. Consultant Mike Rowlands mentions its relevance in evaluating competitors at the Social Enterprise Dragons, while Assaf Weisz questions the emphasis on feasibility studies in determining success. Quantifying social impact is as central to the work of global organization, Free the Children, as it is to Inner City Renovation, a social enterprise in Winnipeg working to revive its North End, and Muhammad Yunus and the work of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.

At SEE Change, demonstrating value is paramount to what we do every single day. Working hard to deliver stories that matter, that engender thought, provocation and learning, is our ongoing challenge toward establishing impact, making a difference. As we move forward, we remain ever-committed to that mission and look forward to telling more stories that matter to you, our readers.

Sincerely,
Nicole & Elisa
co-founders, SEE Change Magazine
