| WISE Ability receives ‘ethical’ business award |
The Social Enterprise Mark is the brand for social enterprises. Launched 1st February, 2010, the Mark identifies businesses which meet defined criteria for social enterprise, and consumers will recognise that businesses displaying the Mark are trading to benefit people and planet.
WISE Ability joins other ethical businesses that have been recognised by being awarded the Mark such as the Eden Project, The Big Issue Group, Pluss, Turning Point and The Wise Group. The Social Enterprise Mark builds off the pilot run by RISE, the voice for South West social enterprise.
WISE Ability takes a progressive approach to supporting the most marginalised members of our community. As a not-for-profit organisation we invest surplus funds into innovative projects and programmes that benefit the most marginalised and under-supported members of our community.
Kay Sutton, Managing Director of WISE Ability said, “We’re really proud to have been awarded the Social Enterprise Mark. WISE Ability is absolutely committed to supporting sustainable businesses and consequently helping local communities to thrive and prosper.”
Lucy Findlay champion from the Social Enterprise Mark Company (manager of the Mark) advised:
“As the distinctive and exciting brand for social enterprise, the Mark identifies businesses which meet defined criteria, enabling consumers to recognise those that are trading to benefit people and planet. It also helps those businesses promote their business ethics and values. We hope that the Social Enterprise Mark will do for social enterprise what the Fair Trade Mark did for fair trade.”
