Principios Cooperativos

Principios Cooperativos are guidelines that help cooperative organizations operate effectively and ethically. They emphasize voluntary and open membership, democratic control by members, and economic participation. The principles promote autonomy, education, cooperation among cooperatives, and concern for community. Essentially, they ensure cooperatives are fair, transparent, inclusive, and focused on serving members' needs rather than just maximizing profit. These principles foster trust, accountability, and shared benefits, creating a sustainable and equitable model for economic and social development.
