 Unlocking the Social Economy Towards an inclusive and resilient society

Over decades, social enterprises, cooperatives, and innovative, entrepreneurial non-profits have prioritized social and environmental values, and made a difference where it matters: on the ground, among the millions of communities and natural ecosystems facing damage and loss.

These actors embrace explicit social objectives and governance models, andwork with groups who face barriers because of gender, race, ability, and economic class. Collectively referred to as the social economy, they deliver inclusive and sustainable economic development.
