POSITIVE ECONOMY<br />

LHForum<br />
Our societies are undergoing far-reaching <strong>change</strong>s. <strong>The</strong><br />
new economic models that are emerging have to put man<br />
back at <strong>the</strong>ir centre and go beyond <strong>the</strong> mere objective of<br />
profit. We need to reflect on <strong>the</strong> founding values of our<br />
societies, our relationship with <strong>the</strong> era, with ourselves, with<br />
future generations and with our methods of development in<br />
order to bring about a new economic paradigm that <strong>is</strong> fairer,<br />
more balanced and more responsible: a so-called “positive”<br />
<strong>economy</strong> in which <strong>the</strong> wealth that <strong>is</strong> created <strong>is</strong> not an end<br />
in itself but a means to serve higher, ethical and altru<strong>is</strong>tic<br />
values. <strong>The</strong> positive <strong>economy</strong> <strong>is</strong> concerned about <strong>the</strong><br />
collective well-being and <strong>the</strong> preservation of <strong>the</strong> planet for<br />
<strong>the</strong> benefit of <strong>the</strong> greatest number.<br />
In 2012, PlaNet Finance Group and <strong>the</strong> City of Le Havre, in<br />
partnership with <strong>the</strong> Agglomeration Community (CODAH),<br />
<strong>the</strong> Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIH) and<br />
<strong>the</strong> Grand Port Maritime (GPMH), decided to launch <strong>the</strong><br />
LH Forum, <strong>the</strong> first international meeting of <strong>the</strong> positive<br />
<strong>economy</strong>.<br />
