Who We Are

 

Founded in 1957, Euro Coop was one of the first Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) to be recognised by the European Commission. It has made its expertise available to all European Union Institutions for the promotion of the interests of consumer co-operatives and their consumer-members.

Euro Coop is the voice of the co-operative retailers in Europe. Our organisation brings together:

 
 19 national members
 6.300 co-op enterprises
 91.000 points of sale
 490.000 employees
 27 million consumer-members
 60,4 billion annual turnover
 

Together, Euro Coop members are Europe’s strongest retail force.

Today, Euro Coop represents and upholds the structure and ethics of consumer co-operative enterprises at European level. Our Secretariat achieves this mission, in particular, by its participation in different fora such as the Stakeholders Platform of the European Food Safety Authority "EFSA", various Advisory Groups, Working Groups, and Platforms within the European Commission, the European Retail Forum for Sustainability, the European Consumer Consultative Group "ECCG", among others. The Secretariat ensures that the voice of consumer co-operatives is well-represented within the workings of the European Parliament and via strong collaboration with the European Economic and Social Committee.
