The Social Economy, based on democratic governance, replaces the human being in the center of the economy. It constitutes a promising means for economic development while keeping in mind the social and environmental harmony of regions threatened by economic, environmental and social crises to society.

The European think & do tank POUR LA SOLIDARITÉ has been engaged in the promotion of these new forms of doing business for more than ten years. PLS works untiringly as a pioneer, opening up paths such as green jobs, renewable energy cooperatives or culture as a vector of inclusion.
