Principles

SSE is based on values and principles of solidarity guiding collective action. SSE principles are the breeding-ground to advocate the recognition of others as the foundation of human action and its core collective dimension, the need for a sustainable development care- taking of nature and its ecosystems, as well as the source of the renovation of politics, economy and society. The social solidarity economy includes activities and organisations of associative, cooperative, and mutual nature created to respond to the needs of the planet, a sustainable development, as well as those citizen movements geared toward democratizing and transforming the economy (Source: CHARTER OF RIPESS, approved by the Board of Directors of RIPESS in Montevideo, October 20, 2008.).
