“....A MAJOR GLOBAL
ECONOMIC FORCE”

“This new data demonstrates that not only do co-operatives have significant scale, but that this scale is sustainable even in the face of difficult global economic conditions.
More than this, with $ 2 trillion in annual revenue among the 300 largest
co-operatives alone, this is a sector that
is no side-player, but a major,
global, economic force.”

CO-OPERATIVE
VALUES & PRINCIPLES

All co-operative businesses are run using the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity to guide them.  In the tradition of their founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.
