Connecting European Work Integration Social Enterprises
Since 2017, ENSIE has been mapping European Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) to bring them all together in a single, easy-to-navigate online database. This platform empowers you to quickly find WISEs in your area or across Europe, whether you're looking to connect, collaborate, learn more about socially responsible businesses and simply buy social.
This database was developed thanks to the support of two projects. The first, Buy WISEly, aimed to enable WISEs and mainstream businesses in participating countries to build and implement transactional partnerships, including trade relationships, to foster a sustainable buy social B2B market. The second project, Consommer malin, consommer responsable (financed by the Belgian Loterie Nationale), focuses on promoting partnerships between WISEs, traditional companies, and public institutions, while raising awareness of responsible consumption through WISEs in Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region.
Why Use the WISEs Database?
- For citizens: explore a diverse range of social enterprises by name, location, or sector. Discover impactful organisations near you to consume responsibly or find inspiration from WISEs across Europe.
- For WISEs: gain visibility, share best practices, and foster meaningful connections within the social enterprise community and increase your responsible sells.
Our user-friendly tool lets you filter results first by sector and then by country —simply click on a sector below to find exactly what you’re looking for. Further, use the search bar at the top of the page to modify your preferences.
