Circular Economy
By optimising resource utilisation, we can reduce costs and minimise financial wastage. For instance, rather than a charity raising funds to pay for services, the focus shifts to building sustainable engagements that are rewarded over time. This approach fosters long-term community relationships without the need for commercial rates.
Positive Economic Impact
Integrating social value into existing systems, such as loyalty and affiliate programs, businesses that accept Community Credits (CCs) and offer discounts on products or services will be perceived as supporting community actions. This not only enhances their CSR metrics but also boosts brand reputation and attracts new, loyal clients.
Solving Social Challenges
By adopting Community Credits, we can address complex social issues, such as poverty, homelessness and support the vulnerable and much more. Individuals can earn CCs and receive life-enhancing rewards, which can support those currently on benefits and promote a sense of pride and worth.

A New Approach to Economic Thinking
Community Credits can only be earned through community engagement, such as donating time, money, or items to address community challenges. These digital tokens, managed through the IIC platform, reward increased community involvement.
We have seen these principles be applied and accepted when it comes to environmental concerns and causes. However, to date we do not apply the same methodology when it comes to community engagement.
This system accelerates community action, promoting long-term positive economic impact. Imagine a world where you can get discounts on your mortgage, utilities, and groceries, or access exclusive products and events, all by engaging in positive community activities. This vision promotes fairness, inclusion, and equality for all, creating a new world of economic thinking.
