These social market networks promote responsible production and consumption and have to be more visible and known in order to have a greater impact in the change of the consumption behaviour and inspire others to join the network.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"325\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27809 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ripess.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Reas-mercado-social-sitioweb-carta.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The new platform of the Mercado Social mercadosocial.net, apart from sharing news and campaigns on the Social Market in general, offers a space for each territorial network with a catalogue of providers of the proximity economy. It facilitates and makes easy the search of SSE providers per territory and per sector such as energy, ethical finance, housing, food and telecommunications that are committed to the principles and values of the network (equity, environmental sustainability, decent work, cooperation, commitment to the environment and non-profit). Each member of the Social Market measures its impact and contribution to these values every year through the Social Balance Audit.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">One of the novelties of the platform is the virtual map of the Social Market. More than 700 entities can be found, that carry out each year the Social Balance Audit and are part of the SSE circuit. Through the map you can see the names of the SSE entities that participate in the Social Market, their contact details as well as their Social Balance Audits.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>If you want to meet and be part of the social market visit our brand new platform <span style=\"color: #0563c1\"><u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mercadosocial.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.mercadosocial.net<\/a><\/u><\/span> and let us know if you like it!!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article by Georgia Karavangeli, Reas, Red de Redes On the 10th of December 2021, the Spanish Network of Networks of Alternative and Solidarity Economy (REAS RdR) launched the Christmas campaign: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":27803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8313],"tags":[8311],"class_list":["post-27770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-collaborative-platforms","tag-social-market","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27770"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.eu.ripess.rio20.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
