The principles of the social economy:

1. Free association: the willingness to satisfy a need and to serve a useful purpose.
2. Democratic power sharing: social economy enterprises are comprised of members who are considered joint and equal concerning their duties and rights.
3. Solidarity within the group in which each participant is involved. This requires coherence between the economic and social aspects.
4. The individual non-aggregation of profit, which excludes personal enrichment. Money is viewed as a tool making it possible to meet the objectives which have been set.
5. The quality of the products and services, which widens the scope for participation and for the harmonious development of the enterprise with the goal of both individual and collective promotion.
6. Personal self-fulfilment: social economy enterprises clearly state that their end purpose is to be of service to man and society.
