International Council for the Cooperative Economy

The International Council for the Cooperative Economy (ICCE) is a global organization that supports and promotes the cooperative sector—businesses owned and operated by their members, such as credit unions, worker co-ops, and community organizations. Its goal is to strengthen the cooperative movement worldwide through advocacy, research, education, and collaboration. The ICCE helps ensure cooperatives thrive by sharing best practices, fostering solidarity between members, and influencing policies that support cooperative growth. It plays a vital role in building sustainable, equitable economies rooted in democratic participation and community ownership.
