The International Handbook of Social Enterprise Law

The International Handbook of Social Enterprise Law - Benefit Corporations and Other Purpose-Driven Companies, Springer, has been published and made available online in open access in December 2022 !

The concept of the handbook is to approach the topic with general contributions about the social enterprise movement in part one, followed by a second part on benefit corporations and B Corp certification, and a third part containing national reports on purpose-driven companies, enabling to understand the status quo in a series of selected countries.

To get a glimpse of what the handbook is about, have a look at the foreword written by Prof. Colin Mayer, Blavatnik School of Government, and Emeritus Professor, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, U.K.
