UK Co-operative Movement

The UK Co-operative Movement is a network of organizations owned and operated by their members, who share in decision-making and profits. It promotes principles like democratic control, equitable distribution of benefits, and community focus. These cooperatives operate across various sectors, including retail, banking, agriculture, and housing, aiming to serve members’ needs rather than maximize profit. The movement emphasizes values of fairness, social responsibility, and sustainable development, fostering economic democracy and local empowerment while contributing to a more inclusive and resilient economy.
