Toasting a Co-operative Decade

07 Nov 2012

Global leaders, representing the $US2 trillion worldwide co-operative movement, toast the launch of a campaign to make co-operatives the fastest growing form of business by 2020 with co-operatively produced champagne.

Co-operatives already represent about one billion people and at the close of Co-operatives United in Manchester, global leaders urged action to create a more equal and people-centred economy across the world.
