As Europe moves towards a climate-neutral and circular economy, one thing remains clear: there can be no just transition without a strong social economy. In 2022, the RREUSE network continued to demonstrate how social enterprises play a vital role in ensuring that no one is left behind in this transformation.
From reskilling workers for circular jobs in refurbishing, remanufacturing, and repair to providing an economic buffer against market failures, social enterprises are driving both environmental and social impact. By making re-used goods more competitive and creating employment opportunities for vulnerable groups, they are proving that circularity must go hand in hand with social inclusion.
