Transition Pathway proximity & social economy – Call for pledges

Following the publication of the Transition Pathway for the proximity and social economy industrial ecosystem on 14 November 2022, the Commission launches a Call for pledges to stakeholders. This initiative is part of the updated EU Industrial policy and the European Social Economy Action Plan.

The purpose of the call is to collect pledges from stakeholders on the concrete actions that they will take in order to help achieve the shared action areas identified in the Transition Pathway. It is an important way in which we can showcase the eagerness of stakeholders to support the objectives of this Transition Pathway and their commitment to work together to support the twin transition of the ecosystem and strengthen its resilience. The pledges will help address gaps, pool resources towards shared milestones and mobilise support at all levels.

The collected pledges will contribute to the co-implementation of the Transition Pathway. The Commission will work together with the stakeholders to support them in implementing their pledges, facilitate exchanges of knowledge and best practices.

The initial deadline to submit pledges is 28 February 2023 as a first stock-taking wil take place. However, the call will remain open on a rolling basis. You are invited to submit your pledges by using the template below.
