The initiative, which is jointly supported by NGOs, politicians, private individuals and companies, began in October 2010. Since then, it has grown unexpectedly fast. More than 1000 companies officially support the initiative and over 300 have created a „Common Good Balance Sheet“. In over 80 local support groups, the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) is becoming an international, grassroots movement. It is a growing, dynamic movement with global resonance. We see it as an open space, striving for networking and cooperation with other social movements. Everyone is invited to become part of this movement and help create an Economy for the Common Good.
