Happy International Labour Day!

Consumer co-operatives have been employing people since 1844, doing it in a responsible manner with a long-term vision to the benefit of their cherished employees. Adhering to Principle V, co-operative enterprises invest in the training of their workforce, helping them achieve professional growth through expansion of their skillset.

With the approaching EU elections, decision-makers and relevant stakeholders have a responsibility to local communities, employees, consumers and especially youth, in how to ensure Europe's sustainable development in all its dimensions and give future generations a cleaner, fairer and more competitive world!  

Having a distinct model of governance and ownership means COOP puts people in the centre of its business, thus generating social value, business value and membership value.

Through their vision of sustainable employment, consumer co-operatives fuel local socio-economic development and job security required for the successful serving of their 75.000.000 consumer members worldwide, of which 34.000.000 are European citizens!

Euro Coop wishes you a Happy Labour Day!
