He says: “CAN is undertaking valuable work. It helps social enterprises and charities understand and improve their social interventions and business models, with clear benefits for their ongoing viability and their social impact.
"Alongside other activity, this furthers CAN’s broader vision of helping the sector achieve an ambitious goal: to substantially re-orient capitalism away from short-term financial profit toward a more holistic concern for financial viability within a context of social and environmental sustainability. I am proud to be part of an organisation working to these ends.”
