La FNC (French: La Fédération Nationale des Coopératives de Consommation)

La FNC (Fédération Nationale des Coopératives de Consommation) is a French organization representing a network of consumer cooperatives. These cooperatives are collectively owned and managed by their members, who purchase goods directly from suppliers to benefit from better prices and quality. The FNC supports these cooperatives by promoting ethical trading practices, ensuring fair treatment of consumers and suppliers, and fostering sustainable consumption. Essentially, it acts as a unifying body to strengthen cooperative retail initiatives across France, helping members access affordable products while emphasizing democratic management and social responsibility.
