SOBRE WEALL

The Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) is the leading collaboration of organisations, alliances, movements and individuals working towards a Wellbeing Economy, delivering human and ecological wellbeing. We were born in 2018 as a time-bound project to catalyse a transition towards a Wellbeing Economy by promoting radical connection and collaboration between different actors of the new economy ecosystem, so we can achieve impact larger than the sum of our parts.

Our Vision

We envision a world where everyone has enough to live in comfort, safety, and happiness. Where all people feel secure in their basic comforts and can use their creative energies to support the flourishing of all life on this planet. Where we thrive in a restored, safe, and vibrant natural environment because we have learned to give back as much as we are given. A world where we have a voice over our collective destiny and find belonging, meaning and purpose through genuine connection to the people and planet that sustain us.

We do this by working on three simultaneous fronts with our members and partners, which we consider essential pillars for systemic transformation:

1

Strengthening, supporting, and connecting existing geographic and thematic power bases at all levels of society, that together have the power to change the current global economic system.

2

Co-creating knowledge that demonstrates the viability of a Wellbeing Economy, to influence change and set the agenda for governments and businesses at all levels to sequence just transitions to Wellbeing Economies.

3

Changing cultural narratives about what's possible and desirable so millions of people of all ages and from all walks of life are inspired to act at local, national, and global levels in support of a shift towards a Wellbeing Economy.

Our Mission

To change the debate and build momentum for economic transformation so that economies around the world deliver shared wellbeing for people and planet by 2040.

Our Values

A Wellbeing Economy is not simply a different economic system, it involves a shift in how we seek to live together from seeing ourselves as owners and consumers toward being caretakers and creators of a flourishing world.

We aim to embody the shift that is needed in our worldviews, society, and economy, from ‘us vs them’ to ‘we all’.

5 core values

in everything
we do:

Passion

We believe in the need for economic system change and in WEAll’s mission.

Care

We strive to see one another’s and our own humanity, and act with care to meet our fundamental needs.

Trust

We trust people to act in line with their values and empower them to take responsibility for their work.

Togetherness

We value ‘togetherness above agreement’ and focus on common vision, values, needs and principles, rather than our differences.

Equality

We place the ecosystem above the individual ego. We practice humility and respect, and recognise the value of diverse contributions from the movement.

Areas Of Impact

In the next decades, our work will aim to impact the following areas, at different levels of the system, that we believe combined can accelerate a transition to a Wellbeing Economy.
