The impact of the crisis on worker and social cooperatives 2011 report

As the international organisation representing “industrial, artisans’, service and social cooperatives and cooperatives with worker ownership”1, CICOPA organised a two-year consultation process with its members in order to develop a common concept concerning this type of cooperatives. The World Standards of Social Cooperatives are the outcome of this process. They were approved in their substance at the CICOPA General Assembly held in Geneva on 18 November 2009 and in their final form at the CICOPA General Assembly held in Cancun, Mexico, on 16 November 2011.
