President’s Challenge Social Enterprise Networking
This networking event is held biennially to foster greater collaborations among stakeholders and Social enterprises and on alternate years, an award ceremony is held. The President’s Challenge Social Enterprise Award (PCSEA) is a prestigious accolade conferred by the President’s Office to honour and recognise exceptional social enterprises for their contributions made to the local community.
The conversations for the President’s Challenge Social Enterprise Networking (PCSEN) bring to light the many ways that corporates can make social enterprises part of their sustainability journey. Panel discussions encourage the sharing of experiences in assimilating social enterprises into their core businesses, and on how those efforts have translated into business growth while doing social good sustainably.
