BUSINESS ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Case Analysis #1

Gawad Kalinga (GK) Enchanted Farm The GK Enchanted Farm is Gawad Kalinga’s
platform to raise social entrepreneurs, help local farmers, and create wealth in the countryside. As
we learned that the road out of poverty is a continuing journey and therefore, providing homes is
merely the beginning, we also realized that our country is abundant with resources (land included)
that we can harness for every Filipino to continuously lead a life with dignity. What Filipino
entrepreneurs need today, especially young and rising ones, is an environment that will help bring
their ideas to life and challenge them to aspire for the greatest social impact. This means keeping
connected to community and gaining access to good mentoring, value-added networking, and
basic facilities and resources. As a Village University, classrooms are connected to communities,
making it an ideal site for any university student. Here, students will be exposed to how to start
social enterprises and communities. Currently the following social enterprises can be found on the
GK Enchanted Farm:

a. First Harvest (Peanut Spread)


b. Golden Ducks (Golden Eggs/Duck Burger)
c. Gourmet Keso (Cheese/Gatas)
d. Herb Planting
e. Kara and Beaus (Ice Cream)
f. Mushroom Magic
g. Plush and Play (Stuff Toys)
h. Theo and Philo Artisan Chocolate
