All centers of the Ethic-Etapes network take part in a social and solidarity-oriented economy.
The centers reinvest their profits in their social projects and work actively with local firms and projects.
Each center develops a unique economic project serving the general interest, with an open management.
It is a network that will bring a special attention to the choice of their suppliers and supplies, especially in terms of catering: short circuits, organic products and good meals…. !
