It’s no surprise that co-operatives are a natural fit for sustainable development, and a major contributor to it. After all, co-ops are active in many different global industries, including finance, housing, agriculture and energy, to name a few. Governed by seven guiding principles, co-operatives across the world humanize our economy. They know how to run successful businesses, large or small, that are diverse and inclusive.
