According to the EESC, a service economy must be both social and sustainable: the eco-design of products that takes on board consumer needs with the objectives of products being repairable and recyclable, of greater value given to the roles of women and men in the way companies operate, and of greater attention paid to consumer needs, satisfaction and protection.

Locally, players in the service economy are creating links that contribute to the development of an ecosystem. Find out more about the EESC's recommendations in this notice.
