What exactly are inclusive social innovations? These entrepreneurial projects are attempting to give new meaning to what inclusivity means. In some way, it seems like a social enterprise should be, by definition, committed to being inclusive of all people, religions, genders, classes, nationalities, bodies, et cetera. Still, there are some projects that attempt to make inclusiveness more fully part of their mantra, mission and practice.
From economic development projects around the world and outdoor sports games to fun nightclubs and green java distributors, these inclusive social innovations are something to shout about. And bring everyone out! That's the best thing about this Social Business top list, it's that it also fosters a togetherness. It's about working together, with anyone and everyone, for the good of the world as a whole.
