Build together tools for the social-ecological transformation

  • The company commits to innovation work in the following areas:

    • the social-ecological transformation

    • participatory democracy

    • the digital commons

    • circular economy

  • The team is organized democratically thanks to a clear and distributed governance based on holacracy.
