社聯-滙豐社會企業商務中心自2007年開始每年編製《社企指南》(指南)，以印刷本、網上搜尋器及手機應用程式（App）等形式，羅列全港社會企業的資料供公眾查閱。指南獲香港特別行政區政府支持及認可，是各政府部門、公營機構、企業及院校履行責任採購的重要參考資料。

截至2014年年底，全港共有527個社企項目，比去年增長15.3%。社企單位數目年年遞增，反映更多機構或公司對開辦社企的認識及信心增加，願意投放更多資源以推動社會創新發展。行業分佈方面，以「餐飲及食物製造」、「醫療及護理 」以及「生活百貨」居首，分別佔11.1%, 12% 以9.4%；從事「教育及培訓」的社企項目增長最為顯著，較去年上升逾四成。
