Spanish term or phrase: empresa solidaria
Hello. From a yearly report by a Development Agency for a Spanish city, referring to a careers fair:

"Además de dar continuidad a las actividades de intermediación y empleo que fueron objeto de anteriores ediciones, en esta edición se pretendía hacer hincapié en fomentar la cultura de la innovación y mostrar las oportunidades para generar actividad económica y empleo en nuevos sectores estratégicos y emergentes (biotecnología, tecnología del deporte, industria cultural, sector audiovisual o **empresas solidarias**), en los que empresas y personas emprendedoras del municipio puedan iniciar su actividad profesional o diversificar la actual."

Thanks for your help :)

Explanation:
I have found this:

Empresas solidarias
Algunas compañías empiezan a fomentar que sus trabajadores participen de forma voluntaria en servicios para la comunidad

Para facilitar el acercamiento de los dos ámbitos, esta institución ha puesto en marcha recientemente programas de outdoor solidario,team building o trabajos pro-bono. Este tipo de herramientas, bastante novedosas en España, están muy extendidas en los países anglosajones. Se trata de que los empleados dediquen un día o más de trabajo a proyectos sociales.

Employee volunteering often sits within an organisation’s Corporate Community Investment (CCI) strategy which is itself part of a much wider movement for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

The ICCSR engages in mainstream teaching and research in the broad area of corporate social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to the attention of business to:
community involvement,
socially responsible products and processes, and
socially responsible employee relation
