Each social enterprise is paired with a dedicated thought partner, an IKEA co-worker who works closely with the social enterprise to identify their specific needs and provide valuable advice on future support. This learning relationship is built on trust, collaboration, and shared learning, all aimed at enabling the social enterprises to effectively scale their impact.<\/p>\n\n
SEAM 1 was launched in September 2024 to bring together a pioneering group of impact-driven organisations in Malaysia, providing them with structured support to scale their social and environmental impact. Over the course of the programme, participating organisations received tailored guidance designed to strengthen their internal systems, refine growth strategies, and expand their reach within both local and corporate ecosystems. Through a combination of mentorship from IKEA co-workers as thought partners, workshops with industry experts, and targeted advisory sessions, Cohort 1 participants were able to address critical challenges in governance, operational efficiency, and revenue growth while remaining anchored in their mission and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across Malaysia, social enterprises are building businesses to address social and environmental challenges while putting people and communities at the centre.<\/p>\n
Discover the enterprises creating impact where it matters most.<\/p>\n\n
