gal/ Managing Director of International Federation for the Economy for the Common Good e.
V. part-time / 25 h per week

The Economy for the Common Good (ECG) is an economic model, which makes the Com
- mon Good, a good life for everyone on a healthy planet, its primary goal and purpose.

At the heart of this concept lies the idea that values-driven businesses are mindful of and committed to human dignity, solidarity and social justice, environmental sustainability, and transparency and co-determination.

To develop and promote this economic model, a grassroots volunteer movement formed in 2010. It is organised into ECG Local Chapters, Hubs (permanent working groups) and regional and national associations. To support the global ECG movement, the Interna
- tional Federation for the Economy for the Common Good e. V. (IF) acts as an international umbrella organisation.

The IF was founded in 2018 as a non-profit-association under German law. The IF is lo
- cated in Hamburg / Germany. As an umbrella organisation, the IF is a Federation of bod
- ies promoting the common good economy. The aim of the International Federation is to promote the cooperation of its member organisations, to form a platform for this and to create structures that enable synergies and make better use of potentials.
