About Bright Station Foundation:
Bright Station Foundation embraces the same entrepreneurial and innovative culture as the rest of the Bright Station group. However, at BSF we combine our expertise to make a difference, to society as a whole.
BSF is passionate about using business for social and environmental change. BSF social enterprises are still commercially viable and profitable however the emphasis is less on the bottom line and more on the potential social dividends.
As with all Bright Station businesses, we break with conventional business models and approaches and aim to find new and innovative ways to make things better.
