💬 Earlier this week, ENSIE attended the event “Quality Jobs for All”, organised by the Socialists and Democrats Group in the European Parliament. During the discussion ENSIE's Policy Officer, Baptiste Vasseur, asked Nicolas Schmit, former European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights and a key contributor to the Social Economy Action Plan, for his views on the absence of the social economy from the debates surrounding quality jobs.

👏 ENSIE was pleased to hear former Commissioner Schmit acknowledge the importance of the social economy and encourage the current Commissioner and Executive Vice-President Roxana Minzatu to ensure its inclusion in the upcoming Act.

📣 We call again on Commissioner Mînzatu to ensure that the upcoming Act includes ambitious measures to recognise and strengthen the role of the social economy in creating quality, inclusive jobs for all!

🎯 This call echoes ENSIE's joint statement signed by more than 50 civil society organisations representing social economy organisations, VET providers, non-profit social service providers and other stakeholders: for all cannot be achieved without recognising the contribution of the social economy.
