# Social Entrepreneur

Social entrepreneurs create innovative products or service models to tackle social and environmental challenges, pursuing through their profits a social mission that benefits a wider community or the environment. They often use a more democratic decision-making system by involving closely their stakeholders, and strive to achieve change at a systems level, by influencing policies, market evolutions and even mentalities.
