Statement on the Co-operative Identity
Definition
A co-operative is an autonomous association of persons united
voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs
and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled
enterprise.
Values
-operatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility,
democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their
founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty,
openness, soCocial responsibility and caring for others.
Principles
The co-operative principles are guidelines by which co-operatives put their values into practice.
| 1st Principle: Voluntary and Open Membership |
Co-operatives are voluntary organizations, open to all
persons able to use their services and willing to accept the
responsibilities of membership, without gender, social, racial,
political or religious discrimination. |
| 2nd Principle: Democratic Member Control |
Co-operatives are democratic organizations controlled by
their members, who actively participate in setting their policies and
making decisions. Men and women serving as elected representatives are
accountable to the membership. In primary co-operatives members have
equal voting rights (one member, one vote) and co-operatives at other
levels are also organized in a democratic manner. |
| 3rd Principle: Member Economic Participation |
Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control,
the capital of their co-operative. At least part of that capital is
usually the common property of the co-operative. Members usually receive
limited compensation, if any, on capital subscribed as a condition of
membership. Members allocate surpluses for any or all of the following
purposes: developing their co-operative, possibly by setting up
reserves, part of which at least would be indivisible; benefiting
members in proportion to their transactions with the co-operative; and
supporting other activities approved by the membership. |
| 4th Principle: Autonomy and Independence |
Co-operatives are autonomous, self-help organizations
controlled by their members. If they enter to agreements with other
organizations, including governments, or raise capital from external
sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by their
members and maintain their co-operative autonomy. |
| 5th Principle: Education, Training and Information |
Co-operatives provide education and training for their
members, elected representatives, managers, and employees so they can
contribute effectively to the development of their co-operatives. They
inform the general public - particularly young people and opinion
leaders - about the nature and benefits of co-operation. |
| 6th Principle: Co-operation among Co-operatives |
Co-operatives serve their members most effectively and
strengthen the co-operative movement by working together through local,
national, regional and international structures. |
| 7th Principle: Concern for Community |
Co-operatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies approved by their members. |
