social solidarity economy

The social solidarity economy (SSE) is a way of organizing economic activity focused on community well-being, social justice, and environmental sustainability. It includes cooperatives, non-profits, social enterprises, and other organizations that prioritize people and planet over profit. SSE aims to create inclusive, democratic workplaces and local economies where resources and benefits are shared fairly. By emphasizing collaboration and social responsibility, it seeks to address social inequalities and foster sustainable development, functioning alongside traditional markets but with a core commitment to societal and environmental goals.
