We dream of a world in which no-one is in need. A world in which everyone has the opportunity to develop to their full human potential, materially and spiritually.
We know the world starts to change when we change ourselves. We recognize that we can be the change makers.
Working towards a society where nobody is in need we commit to living a communion of goods, through our personal and group actions, in response to the grave inequalities in our world.
We count ourselves among the promoters of a new culture: the culture of giving, where those who give find they receive, and those receiving are actually giving.
We recognize that we all have something to give: goods, talents, our time and even our needs.
We seek ways to encourage the development of each person’s abilities to benefit the common good.
Starting from our personal commitment to contribute towards global economic change.
We propose joint action to tackle existing and future poverty.
- Poverty: we pledge to look beyond our own needs, to recognize the social inequalities
around us in our neighborhoods and home countries, and to take effective concrete actions towards sustainable improvement; - Consumers: we pledge to be responsible consumers promoting good purchasing habits of taking and using only what we really need;
- Work and production: we pledge to campaign economic activities are carried out with respect for human rights, the environment and the common good;
- Investment and saving: we pledge to exercise and promote ethical financial practices, on a personal and institutional level.
