ABOUT ECG

The Economy for the Common Good (ECG) is a global movement of people from all walks of life. It began in Austria in 2010 and quickly spread to countries throughout Europe and now has active groups in Africa, Latin America, North America and Asia.

Local Chapters

Local Chapters form the backbone of our movement. Activists work to help implement ECG through organizing local events, contacting businesses and creating networks.

Hubs

International groups work on specific topics such as consulting, auditing, communication, education and public speaking.

International Federation

The International Federation is the umbrella organisation of the international Economy for the Common Good movement.

Organization

A global movement bringing together business, civil society and politics requires a strong organizational structure.

ECG Companies

Many companies worldwide have already drawn up a Common Good Balance Sheet to document their contribution to the common good.
