COOPERATIVE DIFFERENCE VIDEO
COOPERATIVE: 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.
The cooperative business model was created in the 1800s on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, equality, equity, democracy and solidarity.
With those values in mind, today co-ops operate under the 7 Cooperative Principles:
1) Voluntary & Open Membership
2) Democratic Member Control
3) Member Economic Participation
4) Autonomy & Independence
5) Education, Training & Information
6) Cooperation Among Cooperatives
7) Commitment to Community
