No other types of businesses are more committed to the advancement of ESG goals than social enterprises. They play a critical role in furthering a sustainable society by tackling climate challenges, alleviating poverty, enhancing access to education, and generating employment. Yet, there is little critical legal analysis of social enterprises. This presentation examines the relationship between ESG, corporate purpose, social innovation and social enterprises.

How the word tax is used matters. In the UK, for example, the word ‘tax’ often can be seen to communicate a quick meaning to readers. The ‘bedroom tax’ became shorthand for a retraction of welfare benefits;1 the ‘period tax’, or ‘tampon tax’, referred to the VAT on sanitary products (similar to the ‘pasty tax’ from 2012, which was also the VAT on baked goods)2 ; 3 and, the ‘death tax’, which was linked to the proposed changes to probate fees in 2018.
