Consumer cooperation´s business concept
(adopted at the Jubilee Congress in June 1999)
Cooperation means members working together
in an organised manner for the purpose of creating
economic and other added value for everyone.
The aim of consumer cooperation is to enable
members to contribute through their consumption
towards a society which is characterised by
economic development, ecological sustainability,
mutual reliance and cooperation.
