Why
Cooperatives Are Special
Cooperative businesses are special because they
are owned by the consumers they serve and because they are guided
by a set of seven principles that reflect the best interests of
those consumers.
More than 100 million people are members of 47,000
U.S. cooperatives, enabling consumers to secure a wide array of
goods and services such as health care, insurance, housing, food,
heating fuel, hardware, credit unions, child care or utility service. |
