In the glossaries, I see that this is rendered "corporate purpose," "main purpose," "business purpose" but I'm wondering if I'd be wrong if I translated it as "social objective". The groups mentioned here are served by NGOs to address social needs (women's shelters, environmental groups, prisoners seeking parole, etc.).
Las comunidades a las que se alude en este Proyecto, corresponden a los públicos con los que trabajan habitualmente las organizaciones participantes y se integran por una variedad de grupos: colonos, artesanos, ejidatarios, campesinos, indígenas, mujeres, jóvenes, niños. El término comunidades alude al conjunto de personas con las que las organizaciones participantes en este Proyecto mantienen una interlocución permanente, estrechamente, relacionada con su ***objeto social*** y que en su mayoría se encuentran marginadas de las instancias formales de toma de decisiones en el ámbito público.

Selected
[their] common/shared purpose
This might fit with the rest of the sentence, because "social" in this case refers to the particular "body politic" being described.

| Thanks for clarification, Muriel--that was exactly my uncertainty. |

social objective
Social objective
The Employment of Minorities Act (Wet Stimulering Arbeidsdeelname Minderheden, or SAMEN) requires employers to report on the number of ethnic minorities on the company payroll. In April 2001 the report on 2000 was submitted to the regional Employment Exchange in The Hague complete with comments by the works council. The number of minority staff members at the KB rose in 2000 from 2.3 percent to 3 percent of the workforce.

Is a social enterprise a non-profit making organisation?
Social enterprises trade like any other business and aim to generate a profit. That profit is then primarily reinvested into its **social aim.**

What is/are the over-riding **social aim(s)** of your
organisation?
The Engine Shed – GCE Ltd is a charitable company that helps people with learning disabilities learn new skills in a real work environment and

I understand that "objeto social", in this context, means the 'main (or primary) activity of the organizations'

social needs
You used these words already to explain the word objeto social, if I was you, I would use these words, because they get to the point of the original meaning.
There is a social purpose, but it is about people's needs.

corporate purpose
Yes, let's not get sidetracked, in the context this refers to "las organizaciones participantes" or NGOs that are sure to be non-profit corporate entities, and each would have their "corporate purpose" in formal terms. So it is none other.
It's not uncommon for me to go against the grain.

corporate objective
I agree with Henry that "las organizaciones participantes" are corporations.
Corporate objective is the most common term, in my opinion.
"Vision, Corporate Objective, Values, Operating Principles"
