The Social Enterprise award is one of several Green Plus Sustainable Enterprise awards awarded annually and recognizes a for- or non-profit enterprise that uses its business as a way to influence a positive social impact on its community and beyond. SEM already has numerous accolades to its name due to its efforts to promote social entrepreneurship and environmental stewardship. SEM was among the very first solar entrepreneurs in North Carolina, and has set out not only to educate people in the region on clean energy, but to make sure it meets a high level of integrity in its social impact.
“SEM is honored to be recognized for our commitment to sustainable business practices. We’ve been a Certified B Corporation since 2009, and this commitment has served us well as a foundation for achieving our mission to create a prosperous company that supports our community and the environment we all share,” says Maria Kingery, Co-owner and CEO of SEM. “This award gives additional meaning to the work that we love, and for that, we are grateful.”
