What is a Co-operative?

Co-operative societies, or co-ops, are membership-based enterprises that operate on the principle of self-help and mutual assistance.
Many co-ops have a social mission that benefits the greater society.

Every co-op across the world shares the same co-operative values and principles.

There are 3 million co-operatives in the world. At least 12% of people on Earth is a co-operator. That's 948 million people.
And you might just be one of them.
