Przedsiębiorstwo społeczne jako odpowiedź na wyzwania rozwoju zrównoważonego
Social enterprises as a response to the challenges of sustainable development

Summary/Abstract: Two complementary concepts of sustainable development and social economy are almost always discussed separately in the Polish scientific literature. However, projects conducted by the initiatives of social economy, including social enterprises, contribute directly to the objectives of sustainable development in the field of achieving both social and environmental objectives. Aims and tasks included in these two concepts seem to be inseparable. These initiatives are characterised by high innovation in mobilising resources (work, materials) and in identifying development opportunities in the least expected fields. The aim of the article is to relate the literature discussions on the relationship of social economy initiatives with sustainable development objectives (especially in the range of environment resources saving) to Polish conditions. The author shows the specificity of initiatives undertaken in Poland, resulting from both legal and social factors in our country.
