Co-op Principles
THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF CO-OPERATIVES ARE:
Voluntary and Open Membership
Membership in the co-op is open to anyone who accepts the responsibility of membership.
Democratic Control
All members have an equal say in the running of the co-op.
Economic Member Participation
All members contribute in a fair way to the costs of running the co-op.
Autonomy and Independence
Co-operatives are autonomous organizations controlled by their members.
Co-op Education
Co-operatives provide education and training for their members.
Co-operation among Co-operatives
Co-operatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the co-op movement by working together through local, national and international structures.
Concern for Community
While focussing on member needs and wishes, co-operatives work for the sustainable development of their communities.
