Support the Economy for the Common Good: an economic model for the future, today.

Hope isn’t a feeling, it’s the action we take together. We believe that the economy should serve people and the planet – not the other way around. The tools we use to measure economic success and progress have been failing us for a long time, but there are plenty of alternatives. We must move beyond profit alone, and towards what actually matters: human dignity, solidarity and social justice, environmental sustainability, transparency and co-determination.

Learn more about the International Federation for the Economy for the Common Good, the umbrella organisation of the global ECOnGOOD movement, and how we work towards #AfutureInCommon through specific actions, measurable progress, and communities supported in practice.

Make the common good the common choice

A complex problem requires a holistic solution. We recognise that the challenges and risks our societies and environment are facing call for an integral approach. That’s why we work on several fronts and collaborate with diverse organisations to accelerate glocal change: municipalities and authorities, companies of different sizes, faith organisations, public figures, education institutions and non-profits. Discover our active international Hubs and how they effect change.

Your donation enables real and comparable impact towards a future-fit economic system.

How does it actually work?

Common Good Product

The Common Good Product (CGP) is an economic instrument that serves as an alternative and complement to GDP to measure what actually matters. Several pilots are currently active throughout the world. Explore now.

Common Good Balance Sheet (Matrix)

The Common Good Matrix lies at the heart of the Common Good Balance Sheet (CGBS), which documents an organisation’s commitment to the common good by evaluating their ethical and environmental impact through key values and stakeholders. It has been applied by companies, municipalities, educational institutions, NGOs…you name it! Discover more.

Good Practices

Explore the 20 themes of the Matrix through real-life examples.

ECOnGOOD Business Canvas

The ECOnGOOD Business Canvas combines the ECG model with the benefits of the well-known Business Model Canvas into an interactive tool for founders to embed real purpose into their business model from the outset. Find out more.

...and more!

Our practical tools are continuously improved and built to adapt: the main focus is to evaluate the interplay of our core values: human dignity, solidarity and social justice, environmental sustainability, transparency and co-determination; and the stakeholders that are part of our work: owners, suppliers, financial and business partners, employees and co-workers, customers, the global community, nature and living beings.
