Social Economy: a driver ofchange for a sustainable future

The social economy is transforming the way employment and wealth are generated. This model, based on cooperation, equity, and the common good, includes cooperatives, associations, foundations, and social enterprises that seek a positive impact beyond economic profit. From fair trade to sustainable production, more and more initiatives are proving that business can be conducted responsibly.

This approach aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as it promotes inclusion, decent work, and sustainable development. In key sectors such as education, energy, and healthcare, social economy entities are providing innovative and accessible solutions. A notable example is health cooperatives, which ensure patient-centred medical care, encourage active participation from their members, and provide accessible, high-quality services.

En España, el crecimiento de la economía social refleja un cambio de mentalidad: cada vez más personas y empresas apuestan por modelos más éticos y sostenibles. Con el apoyo de políticas públicas y el compromiso ciudadano, este modelo sigue ganando terreno como una alternativa sólida para un desarrollo más justo y equilibrado.
