Over the past ten years, a meaningful shift has been taking root in Singapore’s business landscape. More and more, we see that profit and purpose can go hand in hand. The most resilient businesses are often those dedicated to solving our community's social challenges.
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we brought this evolving landscape to life through an immersive showcase, "A Nation, Heart at Work." This exhibition featured 82 raiSE Social Enterprise Members and served as a collective reflection on how Social Enterprises have matured alongside our nation’s priorities, demonstrating that market discipline and social heart are powerful allies.
Designed as a curated journey across five thematic zones, the showcase demonstrated how Social Enterprises are responding to national priorities with commercially viable, impact-driven solutions. From inclusive employment and community-building initiatives to capacity development and family-focused services, the exhibits underscored the breadth and depth of the sector’s contribution:
Across all five zones, a consistent message emerged: social impact is not peripheral to business. It is embedded in operational models, supported by data, and strengthened by entrepreneurial drive.
This commitment is anchored in raiSE’s IAP membership framework, which ensures that doing good is never an afterthought. The Social Enterprises featured in this showcase operate with clear intentionality, designing their core business strategies specifically to address societal gaps. They deliver additionality, creating positive, lasting community outcomes that simply would not exist without their intervention. And they maintain proportionality, ensuring that as their businesses grow, a meaningful and commensurate share of their resources is continuously channelled back into their social mission.
Over the last decade, these enterprises have shown that measurable social outcomes and financial sustainability are mutually reinforcing. They have become integral to Singapore’s economy – delivering quality products and services while creating inclusive employment and pioneering sustainable practices. Their success appears on balance sheets, but equally in the lives they touch.
A Nation, Heart at Work reflects the growth and potential of Singapore’s Social Enterprise sector, but it is also a call to come together. Our ecosystem thrives when we collaborate intentionally, share knowledge, resources, and opportunities to create greater impact. As we work towards a future where all Businesses are Social Enterprises, the chance to generate shared value has never been clearer.
Here’s how you can work together with the featured Social Enterprises to help build a more impact-driven future:
