The movement reached the Höxter district more than two years ago and has since written a true success story. “Even if the Leader project ends at the end of April – the work will continue”, said Christian Einsiedel, innovation and public welfare advisor of the “Stiftung Gemeinwohl-Ökonomie NRW”, opposite this newspaper. There are no less than five companies from the group that received the certificates for their first public good balance sheets this month. The movement of the “Common Good Economy” (GWÖ) was created on the basis of the book of the same name by the Austrian journalist Christian Felber. The movement advocates “orienting the economy towards the constitutional values of human dignity, solidarity, justice, sustainability and democracy and wants to create the necessary legal framework.” The author Christian Felber was awarded the Steinheim “Reineccius Medal ” been awarded. The Emmerstadt was one of the pioneers in Germany that committed itself to the goals of the economy for the common good through a council resolution.
