Common Good Solutions

Common Good Solutions (CGS) works with government, business and social sector organizations to build more vibrant, just and sustainable communities. Over the last decade, CGS has established itself as a Canadian leader in the global social enterprise and social innovation movements. Our vision is to see every business enrich its local community and the lives of its customers and employees. Our everyday aim is to transform the way business is done to build strong community based enterprises that nurture the health and sustainability of communities across Canada. In April 2017, CGS became Nova Scotia’s first Community Interest Company (CIC), cementing our social enterprise values in our legal form. Our CIC status requires a commitment to invest a minimum of 60% of surplus profits into causes that further our social mission within Nova Scotia.
