The European Commission’s factsheet on the “Proximity and Social Economy Industrial Ecosystem” provides a detailed overview of the importance of proximity and social economy sectors within the EU. It emphasizes the role of organizations such as cooperatives, mutual societies, associations, foundations, and social enterprises, which focus on social and environmental benefits rather than profit.
The factsheet highlights these sectors' contributions to local economic development, sustainable practices, and social inclusion. It addresses challenges including the need for skill development, digital transformation, and access to finance. Additionally, it outlines the EU’s initiatives to support these sectors through targeted policies and efforts to enhance their sustainability, digitalization, and resilience. This document reflects the EU’s dedication to fostering a sustainable and inclusive economy, stressing the need for innovation, regulatory improvements, and international collaboration.
