Social economy action plan – time horizon: 2030
With more than 60 actions outlined in the action plan for the social economy, the European Commission is dedicated to implementing an ambitious programme to improve the framework conditions for the social economy.
We hope to count on your support to help us achieve our common goals.
A mid-term review of the implementation of the action plan is planned for 2025.
