Economia Sociale

Economia Sociale, or Social Economy, refers to a sector where organizations prioritize social goals, community well-being, and ethical principles over profit. These groups include cooperatives, mutual societies, associations, and foundations that aim to address social needs, create jobs, and promote inclusive development. They operate with a focus on sustainability, democratic governance, and reinvesting profits into their mission rather than maximizing shareholder returns. The Social Economy bridges the gap between the private sector and the public sector, fostering social cohesion and economic stability by serving communities and supporting social innovation.
