New Social Enterprise Mark Launched
Social enterprises are working to make a difference across the UK and beyond, but not enough people know what they are or how they work. The Social Enterprise Mark, as the brand for social enterprises, will raise awareness of what social enterprises do in order to get more people to buy from, engage with, start up and work for social enterprises.
The Mark sets a new standard for business
The Mark is awarded to businesses who meet specific criteria that demonstrate they are working primarily for social and/or environmental goals, and that 50% of their profits are reinvested towards those goals. We want as many businesses as possible to be set up as social enterprises, and hope the existing organisations consider how to become social enterprises.
