Our Vision

We believe that social enterprise can transform communities and markets.

Our vision at NESsT is of a new, more accessible, social capital marketplace that generates financial and social benefits while being more responsive to the needs of local communities, small producers and low-income people. By purchasing products and services sold by social enterprises, consumers are simultaneously helping to further a social and environmental purpose and contributing to a more equitable and sustainable world.

We believe that social enterprises create more open, fair and productive markets by extending access to:

  • fair employment
  • sustainable income
  • quality, affordable, basic services
  • improved living conditions
  • socially and environmentally responsible products & services
  • universal rights

NESsT believes that social enterprises create more sustainable, long-lasting solutions to critical social problems.
