Abstract: Although the themes social and solidarity economy (SSE) and sustainable development goals (SDG) have been intensively researched, the works presenting results that demonstrate the intersection between the two subjects are still undergoing experimentation. Through a systematic review of the literature, this paper aims to find out how SSE organisations contribute to the implementation of the SDGs. The authors elaborated a checklist to assess the methodological procedures of the results from studies published. After applying the eligibility criteria, the selected papers show us that the 'metrics' for assessing SSE contributions to the implementation of the SDGs are not measured by fully quantified methodologies. We conclude that, according to the results of this systematic review, although the existence of a positive relationship between the SSE and the implementation of the SDGs is considered, the studies available in this period, do not present robust and consistent methodologies to demonstrate this relationship.
