Beyond our desire to stimulate connections, create bonds, and inspire each other:

1. Because systemic change requires popular support: Research by Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan shows that sustainable change requires the active engagement of at least 3.5% of the population. United, we could become that critical mass capable of influencing economic and political choices.

2. To not leave others in charge of shaping our future: While everything encourages individual retreat, collective action is essential. Otherwise, others will continue to shape a future that reflects neither our values nor the major issues of the 21st century as we see them.

3. Because many don’t know how to act concretely: Millions of people and thousands of businesses aspire to a change in the economic model, but many don’t know how to go beyond conscious consumption or ethical practices.

4. Because the diversity of perspectives is crucial: Bringing together a range of stakeholders allows for the development of an inclusive project, tailored to common expectations and challenges.

5. Because humanity needs good news: Claiming that the world is lost or that humanity is incapable of change fuels a sense of resignation, thereby reinforcing the status quo. Together, we could work on delivering good news about humanity.

Unifying is therefore an essential prerequisite for making change happen. This is one of the core purposes of the OKenomy initiative.

1. To establish a code of conduct within our ecosystem: It responds to the need for an ethical framework, facilitating the adoption of responsible practices and ensuring that all stakeholders engage in a consistent and shared approach.

2. To guide the certification of the OKenomy label: This reference framework would serve as the foundation for certifying our label.

3. To stimulate innovation and experimentation: This framework would function as a living laboratory, a space for experimentation to test and support the continuous evolution of the OK Economy, in a spirit of exemplarity and collective innovation.

These elements will form the solid foundation on which the OK Economy can develop, evolve, and, most importantly, inspire sustainable and collective change.

1. To fund ourselves: OKenomy will require significant resources to fulfill its mission. Donations alone will not be enough, which is why it’s crucial to develop sustainable economic activities.

2. Because every act of consumption has an impact: Without truly having a choice, we support – directly or indirectly – actors in the dominant economy, such as shareholders, banks, and investment funds, who maintain the status quo.

3. For more transparency: When an ethical product becomes popular, it is sometimes absorbed by large corporations without this information being disclosed. Developing our own services and products ensures truly ethical and transparent consumption that finances common objectives defined by the community.

4. To have influence: In the current economic model, it is necessary to represent a critical mass and have economic weight to influence change. Generating revenue is therefore an essential lever.

5. To embody the change we want to see: By creating our own alternatives, we demonstrate that another economic model is possible, thus inspiring other initiatives to follow this path.

6. To fight against tax evasion: Many actors in the dominant economy – including the big American tech giants – evade their fiscal responsibilities, exacerbating inequalities and weakening public goods.

7. To support the European OK Economy: In the face of ultra-nationalist economic policies led by powers like the United States, it is crucial to develop European alternatives that create jobs and generate tax revenues within the European Union.

Creating our own services and products means taking back control of our consumption, gaining independence, and supporting a sustainable and fair future.

1. To expand the range of services and products developed by OKenomy: By certifying companies that share our values, we create a dynamic and complementary network that continuously enriches the services and products developed by OKenomy.

2. To address the growing distrust of existing labels: Some current labels are criticized for their lack of transparency, leniency towards greenwashing, or inaccessibility. The OKenomy label stands out by being designed by and for a community of engaged consumers, thus meeting the growing demand for transparency, authenticity, and real impact.

3. To accelerate market transformation: By certifying companies genuinely committed to an alternative economic model, the OKenomy label highlights exemplary practices.

4. To create a virtuous synergy: By bringing together businesses and their consumers around common goals, the OKenomy label fuels a virtuous synergy.

5. To guide members towards sustainable alternatives: By certifying virtuous companies, OKenomy simplifies the journey for consumers who want to act daily for economic transition, while avoiding the pitfalls of greenwashing.

An OKenomy label is much more than a certification: it’s a tool for collective transformation, serving a fairer and more resilient economy.

1. Because lasting change only occurs when it is perceived as a greater benefit: Humans evolve out of necessity or when they see a tangible advantage. For the OK Economy to become desirable, defending its principles is not enough: it is essential to create inspiring narratives, show tangible results, and prove that this alternative is not only viable but significantly improves individuals’ daily lives, strengthens society, and offers sustainable prospects for future generations.

2. Because it is necessary to counterbalance the dominant narrative: The mainstream economy, through its institutions, policies, media, and influencers, has considerable means to shape perceptions and behaviors. Making the OK Economy desirable and accelerating its adoption requires counterbalancing this influence by mobilizing similar communication and influence tools.

3. Because changing perceptions requires a solid and comprehensive strategy: Shifts in opinion, especially those driven by extreme movements, often rely on complex, multi-channel, and coordinated communication strategies. If we want the OK Economy to establish itself as a credible and attractive alternative, it is crucial to develop a global communication strategy, involving as many actors as possible, that is professional and structured.

These elements form the foundation of our future communication agency.

1. To lay the foundations of a fair and evolving framework: We cannot build a sustainable future on the rules and functioning of the past. The OKenomy Constitution guarantees a democratic framework, adapted to our time, where citizens collectively define the economic, social, and environmental principles that will govern their future. It allows the people to take back control of their sovereignty and choose the common rules of life together.

2. To overcome the limitations of national systems: Ecological, economic, and social crises are global, but our institutions remain national and often ineffective in the face of transnational challenges. A world Constitution would allow us to rethink governance models on the scale of a large community: that of humans on Earth. It thus offers an alternative to the concentration of power in the hands of a few, promoting a fairer distribution of responsibilities and resources.

3. To reconnect citizens with collective decision-making and restore a sense of political action: Today, many people feel disconnected from politics, that is, from the places where essential decisions are made regarding the organization of society and the distribution of resources for the common good, for all. Too often, these decisions are made by an elite distant from the realities on the ground, fostering a sense of helplessness and mistrust. The OKenomy Constitution aims to break this distance by facilitating everyone’s participation in collective decisions, through open, accessible, and transparent democratic tools. We want to give each individual real political agency, where their choices directly influence the distribution of wealth and the allocation of resources towards virtuous ends.

4. To prevent the pitfalls of current economic models: The unlimited accumulation of wealth, the destruction of ecosystems, and the exploitation of workers are not inevitabilities. By embedding fundamental principles in a Constitution, we can set clear rules to prevent these pitfalls and ensure a fair distribution of resources. This includes the implementation of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the wealth created benefits the planet and all humans.

5. To create a common foundation of rights and duties: Just as human rights were formalized by the Universal Declaration of 1948, it is necessary to establish an economic, social, and ecological Constitution that protects present and future generations from injustice and climate chaos. This new Constitution will reaffirm that sovereignty belongs to the people, and that every individual has a role to play in the creation of collective rules.

6. To unite and federate a committed global community: Far from being a mere utopia, this Constitution is a concrete tool to bring together those who want to build a different world. It provides a structuring framework from which nations, businesses, collectives, and citizens can align and engage in a transition dynamic. It thus ensures the redistribution of wealth towards virtuous projects and truly shared power among citizens.

Writing this Constitution together is about building the foundations of a just, sustainable, and truly democratic future today.
