The contribution of European ethical and alternative banks and financiers to inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development

FEBEA-European Federation of Ethical and Alternative Banks and Financiers is the lead partner of a multi-year project co-financed by the European Commission to strengthen the European ecosystem of ethical and social finance.

As part of this process, AICCON will contribute to develop an evaluation framework dedicated to ethical and social finance operators, designed to improve the ability to monitor and communicate the value generated by financial activities in support of the social economy.  

The project also envisages the definition of standards and tools for data collection and analysis, with the aim of strengthening the information base supporting advocacy activities towards national and European institutions.  

Through research, methodological development, and capacity building activities targeted at FEBEA network members, AICCON, within the project, will contribute to consolidating knowledge and the measurement of value generated by ethical and social finance operators, reinforcing their role in supporting the development of the social economy in Europe.
