The Social Economy Consortium is the collaborative community behind the vision for a fairer, more conscious economy. Hosted here at social-economy.org, we bring together leaders, practitioners, and innovators committed to shaping a better future.
The Social Economy Consortium is a voluntary alliance of leaders, thinkers, practitioners, and creators who believe that economies should serve people, communities, and the future we are building together. We are united by a shared conviction: that the defining challenges of our time—uncertainty, inequality, polarisation, and rapid technological change—require not just new policies, but a new way of thinking about value, leadership, and collective wellbeing.
We come from diverse professional backgrounds—leadership development, public service, academia, social innovation, business, and community engagement—but we share a common passion: to advance an economy rooted in trust, inclusion, social value, and long-term stewardship. We believe that a stronger, more compassionate society emerges when economic purpose aligns with human purpose.
As a consortium, we are not an institution. We are a movement of committed individuals who bring curiosity, expertise, and integrity to a shared endeavour. Our work spans ideas, research, leadership practice, digital innovation, and community learning. We blend professional rigour with an unwavering belief that a better economic future is both possible and necessary.
Above all, we act with a spirit of collaboration and selfless leadership. We seek to illuminate what works, challenge what no longer serves, and help shape an economy where prosperity is shared, communities are empowered, and collective wisdom guides our choices.
We are the Social Economy Consortium — a catalyst, a community, and a commitment to reimagining the future, together.
