The Economy of Communion (EoC) project involves businesses on 5 continents.
The business owners who participate in the project, freely choose to share their business profits according to three purposes of equal importance.
They:
Help people in need - creating new jobs and intervening to meet their immediate needs beginning with those who share in the spirit that animates the Economy of Communion;
Spread the "Culture of Giving" and of loving - indispensable and necessary values for an Economy of Communion;
Grow the business - which has to remain efficient while remaining open to giving.
What's New?
The EoC:
Emanates from a spirituality of communion lived in every day life;
Links efficiency and solidarity;
Relies on the strength of the culture of giving to change economic behavior.
« ... human being made in the image of God, who is Love,
finds his own self-realization
in loving, in giving»

Thank you Chiara!

| Unlike the consumer economy, based on a culture of having, the economy of communion is the economy of giving. |
