Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) management in the private sector is often reduced to how it is accomplished, that is, with an action plan with performance indicators. While “methods” are proliferating, the reasons and the extent of the organizational transformations required by such a change is much less addressed. Yet, if there is one sector that is fundamentally concerned with the reason why it matters, it is the social economy and community action sector. Precisely, because it makes social transformation a central concern, especially through the willingness to act by and with its members. Based on the case of the “Comité sectoriel de main-d’oeuvre de l’économie sociale et de l’action communautaire (CSMO-ÉSAC)”, which represents 18,643 groups and organizations, this article looks at both the transformations of the sector and those of the CSMO-ÉSAC as a meta-organization. Crossing the neo-institutional theory and the idea of meta-organization, our analysis, that is based on documents and interviews, shows that the CSMO-ÉSAC embarked on a process of organizational transformation some fifteen years ago on integrating the EDI paradigm. This transformation, resulting from the normative pressure from its staff, the member organizations and the main financial backer, consists mainly of a reinterpretation and enhancement of its mission in light of EDI. In particular, this has given rise to a dynamic of continuous learning in terms of diversity – in the inspiration of learning organizations – that the CSMO-ÉSAC is trying to spread throughout its sector, however with some difficulty.
