There is no standard definition for Social and Impact Enterprises (SIEs) and SDC as an organisation does not have an internal one. The term SIE often refers to a grouping of both Social Enterprises and Impact Enterprises, which have relatively clearer definitions. What we can agree on is that SIEs are organisations that operate as enterprises and aim for financial self-sustainability. They combine both a for-profit orientation with a social-impact orientation.
