IKEA Foundation and Yunus Social Business carried out a 6-month joint research project, getting to the bottom of this question: With ever more organisations joining social-business ecosystems, how can we all start to plug the gaps in the support landscape?

āYSB is thrilled to announce our partnership with Ingka Group (the largest IKEA retailer) and IKEA Social Entrepreneurship B.V. to launch the Social Enterprise Partnership Programme (SEP). The programme supports local social enterprises to scale their existing businesses and create more inclusive and sustainable communities while meeting IKEA business needs.

In all these examples, shared purpose and communication (of one type or another) are key.
