15TH TCI Annual Global Conference
Following the definition of the Fourth Sector as the one which can be viewed as all the initiatives that arise outside the confound of the traditional sectors to address needs and issues that are not covered by the three sectors (public, private, civil) or could be covered in a more effective way, we identify the fourth sector as the new group of organizations, both for-profit and not-for-profit, that are leading social innovation and proliferate at the crossroads between the public, private and third sectors to address unfulfilled needs, be they social or environmental

15TH TCI Annual Global Conference
The current global crisis in which we are immersed has exposed some of the weaknesses of the economic system. It is essential to change the model, to reach an agreement that asserts our society's desire to emerge from the crisis, as well as the need to change our model of economic and social growth. The situation reinforces our conviction that it is necessary to pursue a strategy that pools our strengths and efforts, to increase the cooperation towards a more sustainable society.
This crisis represents an opportunity as it has increased our sense of "awareness" when tackling such an important challenge as fostering social responsibility.
Current social context:
Main problems
Concerns
state-of-the-art
REASONS:
Deeper than those of previous crises Structural and systemic nature
Linked to:
A crisis of values The development of the knowledge society The shortage of natural and energy resources
Current social context:
Main problems
Concerns
state-of-the-art
Actions to respond to the situation: All governments have taken emergency, short-term
actions. Establishing financial systems and stimulating
demand. Protecting those groups that have suffered most
from the crisis.
Current social context:
These actions are not sufficient to face the challenges of the new economic cycle and guarantee sustained and long-lasting recovery suggested by the latest regulations.
Main problems
Concerns
state-of-the-art
Main requirements: 1. Transformation directed towards achieving a New
Model of economic and social growth, based on people and a change of values.
2. A great public-private-social partnership that guarantees medium to long-term measures for change and transformation
In order to tackle these future challenges with a moderate guarantee of success, actions are required in the medium and long term, based fundamentally on
Social innovation and social responsibility.
Current social context:
Main problems
Concerns
state-of-the-art
1. The nature of sustainability is a transversal
value 2. The egoistic, individualist vision characterises
our most advanced societies, in contrast to
the search for the collective good, together
with the lack of individual/shared ethics, has
led to an unethical management of modern
companies
3. Opportunity to begin to shape a new social
model in which growth includes an ecological
and social accountancy, not only money-based
Towards a Sustainable Society:
Main problems
Concerns
