VisionSpring is honored to receive the second annual Center for Advancement in Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) Award for Enterprising Social Innovation (ESI) from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.
The ESI award was granted to VisionSpring for its success adopting a mission to create and sustain social value, relentlessly pursuing new opportunities to serve that mission, engaging in continuous innovation, adaptation and learning, and acting boldly without being limited by existing resources. CASE also recognizes VisionSpring for its blended business and philanthropy model and the creation of social value that can scale and sustain while challenging the status quo.
CASE writes of VisionSpring:
“VisionSpring has earned the CASE Award for ESI through its tireless work to improve vision and economic opportunity in countries all over the developing world. Drawing upon techniques and concepts from both the commercial and social sectors, VisionSpring’s innovative business model achieves significant impact for entrepreneurs and for their customers in underserved markets – bringing dramatically improved vision to individuals at the base of the economic pyramid and leading to improvements in health, income, and productivity in the world's poorest communities.”
