Social Design
Design of social processes with suitable communication
We focus on design for sustainability with open source methods and tackle social, organizational or technical challenges together.
- How can changes in companies or organizations be supported?
- Which developments need a broader review?
- How can social and virtual networks be developed and maintained?
With more than 20 years of project experience, we face exciting questions. Our goal is to have a lasting impact, in both senses. Not every project idea works out, but we have taken numerous concepts one step further or accompanied company start-ups at various stages.

In the sense of a network for the common good, fairkom supports social and sustainable organizations and initiatives with IT know-how, infrastructure and process support. With our many years of experience, we accompany various civil society projects that are committed to social and democratic coexistence and/or environmental issues.
FairCoin
A democratic currency for a fair economy
FairCoin was conceived as a medium of exchange: a social currency designed to be stable, global and incorruptible. The goal of the FairCoin movement is to create an innovative glocal economic system from the bottom up - for a collective change towards a life based on shared values. Collaboration, ethics, solidarity and transparency are key. We support the first democratic cryptocurrency FairCoin with IT infrastructure and communication.
ethify.org
Proposal for a values fan for ethical living
"I live as I please" was chic for Pippi Langstrumpf and in the 80s and 90s, but the postmodern "anything goes" no longer works. The financial system has come apart at the seams, ecosystems are threatening to collapse, and according to the latest calculations of the Club of Rome, total collapse is imminent before 2030. Boosting consumption will not save us. We have to talk again about what is important to all of us, detached from religions and world views.
fairmove
After numerous workshops we have developed a generic label for sustainable initiatives and actions as well as a matching license. Everyone is allowed to use it for this purpose, details are regulated in a Label Commons Public License. Premiere was at the Ars Electronica Festival in 2019.
fairmove.IT
An association of Internet platforms with the aim of working together more effectively for eco-social change. The goal of the network is to connect proven and new web technologies for sustainability initiatives and to make them usable. We support with ideas, fairlogin and IT infrastructure.
fair.coop
Glocal cooperative
FairCoop is a global network of self-organized and self-determined local communities and individuals. The goal is to build an innovative bottom-up glocal economic system, in favor of an alternative and post-capitalist model, paving the way for a collective change towards a communal life. Global principles and frameworks are defined collectively, on behalf of all, and simultaneously implemented at the local level, according to region-specific needs and circumstances.
Our basic income
A good life for all
An "unconditional basic income" would make us all freer and we could live together in a healthier, more sustainable and more solidary way. The initiative has set itself the goal of stimulating the socio-political discussion for an unconditional basic income and to set additional impulses with the raffle of an unconditional basic income. The raffle has since been discontinued, but the initiators are still actively pursuing the issue. fairkom supported the project with IT infrastructure, programming and design.
