Project results: Brochure on monitoring social innovations for sustainable consumption published

On 6 February 2025, the brochure "Gemeinsam wirken & Veränderungen sichtbar machen. A proposal for monitoring social innovations for sustainable consumption" was published for the project "FoSInKo - Impact assessment and dissemination potential of social innovations for sustainable consumption". The publication presents the key results of the project in a compact and practical way and provides a sound basis for the long-term monitoring and further development of social innovations.

The project carried out by the IZT and IÖW centred on the development of a monitoring concept that makes the ecological, social and economic effects of social innovations systematically measurable. The case studies on solidarity agriculture and the online resale of smartphones were used to gather practical findings that were transferred to all social innovations in the field of sustainable consumption. The aim was to visualise the contributions of social innovations in the field of sustainable consumption to the socio-ecological transformation and to provide impetus for their dissemination.

The brochure is aimed at social innovations, stakeholders from politics, initiatives and associations as well as anyone interested in promoting social innovations or wanting to better understand their impact. It shows the impact potential of social innovations and presents an application-orientated monitoring concept that aims to support stakeholders in measuring their impact.
