As a benchmark foundation in the Social Solidarity Economy for close to 35 years, the Fondation Crédit Coopératif is both at the forefront of the action of the bank which established it and proud to be in its wake. It exists to serve the women and the men who make the SSE and are committed to bringing about a more just, human and ecological future for a world in transition. Its mission is built on 3 pillars: • EXPLORING: by supporting research in the social solidarity economy, so that all may be better aware of where it’s coming from and where it’s heading. • INSPIRING: by supporting local initiatives that are anchored in grass-roots territories and by fostering their networking. • TRANSFORMING: by establishing partnerships with the various sectors of the SSE which are experimenting, structuring and disseminating good practices. The Fondation Crédit Coopératif believes in those millions of hands and ideas and wants to keep contributing to the writing of their beautiful stories. It can count on the cooperation of the creative forces of its founder, its members and its employees
