Forum 2004: Socially responsible consumption and finance systems
Socially responsible consumption and finance systems: public authorities’ and citizens’ commitment for social cohesion
Palais de l’Europe, Strasbourg
How are connections that favour social
cohesion to be established between the functioning
of society and day-to-day individual practices
in consumption and utilisation of financial
resources? Finance and consumption are pre-eminently
perceived as expressions of a burgeoning
individualism - hence the question of how
to foster the social responsibilities inherent
in these individual actions. The Forum 2004
“Solidarity finance and responsible
consumption: official and community commitment
to social cohesion” organised by the
Social Cohesion Development Division of
the Directorate General of Social Cohesion
sets out to answer this question.
