Social Entrepreneurship

Social and Solidarity Economy is a different way of organizing the economy and society. It is an approach based on solidarity, cooperation, sustainability, and justice. In this framework, collective benefit and social purpose take precedence over the logic of individual profit, while participation and democracy in decision-making become everyday practice.

For us at The High Mountains, this philosophy is not an abstract idea but the core of our activity. We see it being realized through social entrepreneurship and innovation. It is a practical and applicable form that enables individuals and collectives to create solutions to social, environmental, cultural, and economic challenges, to open new employment opportunities, and to build structures with real impact.

Why Social Entrepreneurship?

Through social enterprises, new jobs are created, local resources are responsibly utilized, traditional knowledge is revived, and innovative solutions serving the common good are developed. Most importantly, the focus shifts from profit to people and community, offering structures that strengthen cohesion, resilience, and participation.

Mountain product

The quality designation "mountain product" denotes the distinctive qualities of a product made in mountainous regions under challenging environmental conditions.

Both farmers and consumers benefit from this acknowledgment. It not only makes certain characteristics of the product clear to the consumer but also helps farmers market their products more effectively.

  • Products: agricultural and food products.
  • Specifications: The raw materials and animal feed come from mountain areas. For processed products, production must also take place in these areas.
