“…In order to fulfil these requirements, the formal economy will have to be expanded in a socially and economically compatible manner, although environmentally sound practices are sometimes deemed to be more easily promoted in the informal sectors of economy and in nongovernmental organisations than in formal economy and politics (see also Becker, 1998;Wichterich, 2000). This proposed conception of sustainable work is similar to the concept of 'mixed work' developed in the German interdisciplinary research project 'Work and Environment' ('Arbeit und Okologie') (DIW et aI., 2000;HBS, 2001;Hildebrandt, 2003). Mixed work, which is introduced by this project as a new, ideal type of full-time employment, is taken to be essential for social sustainability; it is expected to open up new opportunities and provide additional ways to ensure social welfare.…”

“…In accordance with the already mentioned normative principles of sustainability, the current global socio-ecological crisis will most likely be overcome by changing the predominant (northern) modes of production and consumption, which are clearly harmful to the environment. This perspective also casts doubts on the social organisation principles central to (Post-) Fordist working societies with their inherent mass production and (compensational) mass consumption (Littig, 200 I;Hildebrandt, 1999Hildebrandt, ,2003.9 All this leads us to the following conclusions concerning the conception of socially sustainable development: One important starting point in this context must clearly be the reorganisation of work in our society and, connected to that, of all forms of social welfare (DIW et aI., 2000;HBS,I 2001;Brandl and Hildebrandt, 2002). The strong emphasis on work in the existing working societies still needs to be taken into account; not just with regard to securing people's incomes, but also with regard to the psycho-social functions of gainful employment (time structure, identity, etc.…”

The sustainability concepts of the 'Brundtland-Report' and the 'Rio documents' call for a combination of ecological, economic, social and institutional aspects of social development. This paper describes briefly, several models of sustainability and discusses social sustainability as conceptualised in selected sustainability indicators. In an attempt to remedy the lack of sociological theory, the paper proposes a sustainability concept, which is based on the concepts of needs and work, as an activity to fulfil these needs and as the principal exchange process between society and nature. Moreover, this paper argues in favour of recognition of social sustainability as both a normative and analytical concept.

“…Social sustainability is after all strongly connected to new concepts of work and its organization (cf. Littig & Grießler, 2005;Hildebrandt, 2003). However, the thematic analysis did not provide findings about completely new forms of employment.…”

Abstract:The paper first introduces the concept of ecosocial innovations. These are local organizations embedded in social and solidarity economy, which combine ecological and social challenges in their work. They are successful models of how to operationalize sustainability. Based on a cross-national, multi-case study with a social work background, the paper aims at providing insights about the work and significance of ecosocial innovations. Drawn from interview material collected in four countries within selected ecosocial innovations, seven themes as common characteristics of these local actors are presented. One trait of ecosocial innovations is a creative mix of paid work, voluntary engagement, and subsidized employment in their activities. This mix is not only a compromise due to a lack of resources, but it also acknowledges the interconnectedness of well-being and sustainable social practices. The paper concludes with a summary of the main results and an outlook of the potential of ecosocial innovations for the future. They could for example serve as models for an ecological social work Keys-Words: Ecosocial innovations, social and solidarity economy, sustainability, social work Resumo: Este artigo apresenta o conceito de inovações eco-sociais. Conceito que remete para as organizações locais ligadas à economia social e solidária cuja intervenção não deixa de atender aos desafios sociais e ecológicos, podendo ser vistos como modelos de sucesso na operacionalização da sustentabilidade. Baseado num estudo comparativo multi-caso internacional, a partir de uma abordagem do Serviço Social, o artigo procura mostrar o trabalho desenvolvido nestas iniciativas, salientando a importância das mesmas. Entrevistas recolhidas junto dos atores locais em quatro países permitiram identificar sete características comuns às diferentes experiências estudadas. Destaca-se a identificação de um padrão comum no funcionamento destas inovações eco-sociais: uma criativa fusão de trabalho assalariado, voluntariado e emprego subvencionado. Esta combinação não é resultado, apenas, de compromissos motivados pela falta recursos, mas, também, da adoção de práticas sociais sustentáveis e de bem-estar. O artigo termina com um resumo das principais conclusões e um sobrevoar do potencial que as inovações eco-sociais apresentam para o futuro, podendo, por exemplo, fornecer modelos para um serviço social ecológico.
