SOCIAL ECONOMIC AND SOLIDARITY ORGANIZATION ?
Definition :
The concept of social and solidarity economy (SSE) designates a set of enterprises organized in the form of cooperatives, mutual societies, associations or foundations, whose internal functioning and activities are based on a principle of solidarity and social utility.
These companies adopt democratic and participatory management methods. They strictly control the use of the profits they make: individual profit is forbidden and the results are reinvested. Their financial resources are generally partly public.
RIPESS North America connects networks from the United States, Canada and Quebec. There are currently three members representing each country/province: the United States Solidarity Economy Network (US SEN), the Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet) and the Chantier de l’économie sociale from Québec.
For example, in Quebec, this mode of development is supported by citizens and organisations that are involved in more than 11,200 collective enterprises, which together have a turnover of 47.8 billion dollars and employ nearly 220,000 people.
