South Molton Recycle become the newest holder of Social Enterprise Mark

South Molton Recycle (SMR) have been awarded the Social Enterprise Mark by RISE and joined a growing number of high profile social enterprise Mark holders including COSMIC, the Co-operative Group South West, Devon Doctors and the Eden Project.

SMR's aim is to protect the environment by reducing pollution and saving resources by cutting down the amount of waste going to landfill. They also provide employment for local people, support educational visits on recycling, give employment and work experience to disadvantaged members of the community and supervise workers on community service.

The Social Enterprise Mark is a way for social enterprises to promote their value-driven business to customers. The Mark also aims to help social enterprises benefit from the growth in ethical consumerism. It's a Mark of assurance - of right thinking and bright thinking - for social enterprises trading in South West England.

The Social Enterprise Mark is funded by the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund and it is sponsored by the South West Regional Development Agency, The Co-operative Group and Triodos Bank.
