Partners : Past & Future Generations of Co-operators

who
In 1844, harsh living conditions and inadequate consumer protection inspired 28 working men to develop a new approach to the supply of food and other goods, by setting up the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society. There are more than 760 million individual co-operators worldwide. Co-operatives are involved in everything from food production and retailing to banking, insurance, travel, housing, health, education and leisure.
priorities and performance measures
All sectors of the Co-operative movement recognise that, by working more closely together, the movement could offer its customers and members an even better service. To this end, in 1998, a Retailer Financial Services Steering Group was established to identify opportunities for the distribution of financial services to retail consumers across the UK Co-operative movement.
