THE SOCIAL VENTURES COMPANY
CONTRIBUTING TO POSITIVE SOCIETAL CHANGE IN AN ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE MANNER
EITHER WE LEAD THE FUTURE OR IT WILL LEAD US
The Future Starts Here And Now
Change is an inevitable fact of life ever since the rock we now live on began as a smoldering mass of condensed galactic gases. Add some DNA and water and behold what we have become. Now comes the hard part.
Lost in the sea of changes taking place around us the one thing that we have not lost is the ability to innovate and resond. This is our greatest gift. As long as we keep the belief that we have a right to exist alive and have a duty to maintain that existence we have a chance. Our destiny is built on the past but it is shaped by the knowledge of what has come before and using that knowledge to shape a better future. Within this paradigm resides a responsibility for stewardship to the environment upon which life depends. Otherwise the incredible beauty of our cosmic incubator may not serve future generations as it has our own.
Adapt or die but never give up the effort and never fail to try.
Technology can be a blessing when used to support the commons with positive change.
Ultimately, environmental sustainability is inextricably linked to economic sustainability. In the pursuit of a better future we have the ability to ensure there is a better future for all. Our mission is to use our resources wisely and effectively, leaving this place in a better way than we found it.

WHAT IS SOVENCO? HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Social Venture Company (SOVENCO) is a Not-for-Profit enterprise based on a traditional business model wherein goods and services are purchased wholesale from ethical suppliers and resold to consumers through schools.
We believe that a entrepreneurial approach is the most efficient and economical strategy for meeting needs in an ethical and sustainable manner.
We chose suppliers that are committed to the highest standards of ethics and global stewardship. By providing a ready outlet for the highest quality products we help to maitain domestic employment and support local economies.
By providing the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices we endeavor to support worthwhile causes such as
SCHOOL FUNDRAISERS
ANIMAL RESCUE GROUPS
HOMEFULNESS AND AFFORDABILITY
ADDICTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH
We allocate 25% of all sales to the causes we support so that they can continue to carry out their good works with integrity and indendence without losing access to other funding programs already relied upon for continued operation.
