Stone Soup Consulting has, since its beginning, developed an ethics and social responsibility policy that led to the creation of a fund that is applied in actions of social interest. In order to identify the most relevant application, Stone Soup created the “Stone Soup Award on Research in Social Innovation”. For the purpose of this application, we define  “social innovation” as new ideas that solve existingsocial, cultural, economic and environmental challenges for the benefit of people and the planet.
