Economy for the Common Good. An economic model for the future

The "Economy for the Common Good" (ECG is) a social movement that proposes a new economic model that promotes the common good and sustainability rather than profit maximisation. The ECG model suggests that businesses should measure their success by financial profit and contribution to society and the environment.

The ECG proposes a new way of doing business. Companies would be rewarded for their social and environmental responsibility through a points-based system that could lead to tax breaks, public procurement advantages, and more. The movement also proposes legal framework changes so that companies prioritising the common good would be legally recognised and protected.

Overall, the ECG seeks to transform the economy to promote the well-being of people and the planet rather than just wealth accumulation.

Christian Felber will share examples of printing firms such as Gugler with C2C gold standard certified companies in Austria and other examples in Germany.

The Social Sustainability Challenge 

During the workshop, we will dive deep into the theories and concepts behind social and economic sustainability and explore how these ideas can be applied to create more sustainable communities. 

You'll be able to engage in various methods, including group discussions, team-building activities, and networking sessions, all designed to help you connect with other like-minded individuals and learn from their experiences. 

But this workshop is about more than just learning - it's about taking action. We'll encourage you to think critically about how to make a real difference in your community and give you the tools and resources you need to turn your ideas into action.

Jostedal Kraftverk - Hydroelectric Power Plant Tour
Hydroelectric power is a renewable source of energy that can help meet the growing demand for electricity in a sustainable way. Dscoop members could benefit from learning about this energy source as they seek to reduce their carbon footprint and explore sustainable energy options for powering their HP digital presses.

Hydroelectric power plants can generate a significant amount of electricity, depending on the size of the plant and the volume of water available. Understanding the capacity of hydroelectric power could help Dscoop members make informed decisions about energy production and consumption as they seek to optimize their press operations.

Hydroelectric power plants have environmental impacts that should be considered when making energy decisions. Dscoop members who are interested in sustainable printing practices could benefit from learning about the environmental impacts of hydroelectric power plants and how they can mitigate these impacts through their energy consumption choices.
