Socially conscious people are turning to social entrepreneurship to create meaningful and potentially enduring changes. Nevertheless, more and more social and environmental needs are emerging. Social entrepreneurship quickly arises either individually or in group as an important way to develop specific and economically viable business models and organizations, as solutions to social and environmental needs. A wide range of meanings has arisen for social enterprises. The purpose of this study was to research how blended value enterprises (with both for-profit business and social and environmental goals characteristics) contribute to the public good generation at organization, infrastructure and operation levels. The approach chosen was case study with qualitative and exploratory research with three enterprises located in Portugal. Data records were obtained from fieldwork notes, semi-structured interviews based on conceptual framework, and other documents about enterprises. Data interpretation was done by content analysis using the MAXQDA® software. The main finding of this study was that a new genre of enterprises combining economic and social values is emerging in Portugal. They are micro and small enterprises created by young entrepreneurs and they play a significant role in the self-employment. Beyond business, they contribute for the common good in the communities. Not only they generate social innovation through products and services, but also explore gaps left by traditional markets, such as in the environmental sector, generating positive externalities.
