Cooperatives Build a Better World

Consumer cooperatives promote sustainable development and inclusive solutions for a better world

2025 is the International Year of Cooperatives, and to celebrate this year’s International Day of Cooperatives, Euro Coop joins the global movement under the slogan “Driving inclusive and sustainable solutions for a better world”.

On this occasion, we are proud to present the digital photo wall “Consumer cooperatives in action”, which highlights the everyday ways in which consumer cooperatives across Europe improve lives and support communities. From access to healthy food and fair working conditions to inclusive housing projects and renewable energy initiatives, each photo tells a story of people coming together to create lasting change.

This visual journey is a reminder of what consumer cooperatives are all about: empowering people, building stronger communities, and working together for a better future.

Happy International Day of Cooperatives 2025!
