Abstract

Integrating Corporate Social Responsibility in the core operations of companies calls for the design of more responsible business models. In this paper, we propose to make good use of research on business models for Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) populations, since these are centered on primary needs and on the optimal utilization of scarce resource. Value capture needs to encompass both economic and non-economic returns distributed across value chain actors. We present an exploratory case studies on solar energy in West Africa with a no-frills business models. Our aim is to try to work towards defining a sort of "base" business model which integrates sustainability issues and may help entrepreneurs to develop efficient and innovative ventures for sustainability.
