Co-operative Case Studies
Co-operatives are successful values based businesses owned by their members. They operate in every sector of the economy and all around the world. Here you will find examples of those co-operative enterprises that are building a better world using co-operative values and principles.
Many of the case studies featured here are reproduced from the Stories.coop website, a partnership initiative between the International Co-operative Alliance and Euricse. Find out more at www.stories.coop.
