The term social and solidarity economy (SSE) is increasingly being used to refer to a broad range of organizations that are distinguished from conventional for-profit enterprise, entrepreneurship and informal economy by two core features. First, they have explicit economic and social (and often environmental) objectives. Second, they involve varying forms of co-operative, associative and solidarity relations.
