SEWF Verification was designed in consultation with partners around the world. It recognises existing regional and national social enterprise verification systems, builds on existing knowledge and expertise, and provides accessible, affordable and culturally responsive social enterprise verification in places where such options do not exist. The service aims to support the growth of the global social enterprise ecosystem and expand market access for all social enterprises globally.

Encouragingly, there is increasing recognition of the contribution of social enterprises by international organisations such as the ILO, European Union, African Union and the ASEAN Secretariat. In this session, representatives from the ILO, European Commission, London School of Economics and the ASEAN Secretariat join the stage with leading voices from the sector to speak about:
- Why these international organisations have developed resolutions, strategies and action plans on social enterprise. - What these initiatives concretely mean for social enterprises, how are they going to make a difference? - What more can be done by the public sector to support social enterprises in leading the way towards a new economy which is more inclusive and sustainable.

Social enterprises do not operate in a vacuum. Regulation, education and training, access to financial capital and human capital all influence the development of social enterprises. Governments play a key role in creating an enabling ecosystem for social enterprises to flourish.

- What makes a good social enterprise ecosystem? - How can international, national and regional governments contribute to a flourishing social enterprise ecosystem? - What can we learn from each other&rsquo;s best practices?

To reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, all businesses should focus on making a positive impact. Through regulation, innovative funding mechanisms and procurement, governments cannot only scale the potential of social enterprises but also nudge other businesses to focus on social and environmental impact.
This session unpacks how governments can mainstream social and environmental impact, drawing on lessons from the social enterprise sector. Leading social enterprise intermediaries join the stage with governments from around the world to speak about:
- How governments can finance social and environmental impact. - Best practice for social and sustainable procurement. - What influence regulations such as ESG reporting will have on mainstreaming social and environmental impact.
