Objectives

Our mission is to promote

  • responsible consumption by selling local, regional, organic, fair-trade and unpackaged products
  • anti-waste
  • social inclusion
  • reintegration into employment
  • values of solidarity
  • a local place open to all

Our vision is to

  • create a social and solidarity-based space
  • promote the circular economy
  • focus on ecological principles
  • place the human being at the centre

Our object (according to the articles of association):

  • is to be a cooperative society, open to all,
  • with the main object (Art. 2.1 of the Articles of Association) of setting up and running one or more solidarity grocery shops and operating one or more alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks outlets with catering.
  • This object (Art. 2.1 of the Articles of Association) is in line with the aim of supporting and promoting a social and solidarity-based economy, which is essentially based on setting up partnerships with organisations that are active in promoting social, ecological and economic activities - while at the same time favouring a community-based and participatory approach.
  • As an accredited cooperative & SIS (social impact company), with 100% social shares, any profits are paid into the statutory reserve, which is unavailable to cooperative members and is intended to strengthen and develop EpiSol's corporate purpose (Art. 9.4.1 of the Articles of Association).

Impact

Object & Social Impact (provided for in the Articles of Association and the SIS (Societal Impact Society) Agreement)

The following performance indicators will be taken into account (Art. 2.4. of the Articles of Association) when assessing the performance targets relating to the achievement of the purpose & social impact, or the distribution of "profits":

  • number of jobs, SVO volunteers, students/trainees on vocational training courses

  • Apart from that, we organise events and catering in the large room on the 1st floor (for 50 - 75 pers.), as well as on the "terrace" in the boules hall (for +/- 75 people), for various meetings, assemblies, association and private parties, events, competitions, etc.
  • Finally, it's a meeting place / a third place open to all. Our aim is to provide access to healthy, balanced and responsible food for everyone, including financially disadvantaged individuals and families.
