SGI Europe partners up with the 906 campaign ahead of the EU elections

In 2024, 2 billion people will head to the polls worldwide, including more than 400 million EU citizens. The hashtag#EUelections are now less than one month away, and citizen participation has been notoriously low: in 2019, only 50.7% of eligible voters had cast a vote.

We believe that companies can use their voice to engage their audiences, clients, users, consumers, and employees on the importance of acting beyond the economic purpose and protecting our democracies. That is the core of our initiative Companies For Democracy that we launched on 9 May 2024.

On top of that, SGI Europe joined forces with B Lab Europe, GOPA Com., Earth4All (Club of Rome), and Civocracy in the 906 campaign to promote a nonpartisan, pro-democratic campaign to unite companies across Europe to put aside differences and increase the 2024 European Parliamentary Elections awareness and turnout.

Our common goal: Increase the turnout in 2024 by 5 million voters (+1%) compared with 2019.
