The Social Enterprise Mark is a label which tells customers that a product or service
comes from a social enterprise and is creating a social or environmental benefit.

The Mark offers social enterprises a simple way to inform customers about the wider social or environmental impacts they offer and to take advantage of the business opportunities presented by an ever growing trend in ethical consumerism. The Mark enables social enterprises to differentiate themselves from private business and any corporate social responsibility schemes, or 'greenwash'!

For customers, it offers an instantly recognisable label to identify social enterprises; reminding them that by choosing a social enterprise they are helping to create benefits for people and the planet.

The Social Enterprise Mark is the only label of its kind that is open to all types of social enterprises that successfully meet the qualification criteria. It means the growing number of social enterprises will gain widespread recognition amongst customers.
