The European Economy Senate is a centre of European thought of private initiative born in Germany, with vocation to advise, to cooperate and to influence in the government of the European Union, and for it to interact with the European authorities and institutions and the Governments of the member countries, contributing ideas, proposals and solutions on the great challenges of the Union. It is composed of distinguished representatives of European civil society who believe in a more humanistic economy, based on good corporate governance and committed and active social responsibility. With the defence of an environmental sensitivity that helps us to build a more sustainable and better habitable world.
The Spanish Chapter of the European Economy Senate was created with the aim of advising and cooperating with the European Commission and Parliament from civil society, contributing ideas, proposals and solutions on the great challenges of the Union. In this way, the Economy Senate revives the traditional idea of the Senate in Antiquity. A balanced circle of friends with an independent mind worked for the public good, and not merely personal interests.
