Ten years analysing the cooperative economy
The 2021 Cooperative Monitor report analyses the performance of the 300 largest cooperative organisations in the world.
The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and the European Institute for Research on Cooperative and Social Cooperative Companies (Euricse) have published a new edition of the World Cooperative Monitor. The 2021report has been published on the tenth anniversary of the monitor which, over the past decade has analysed and studied the economic impact that cooperative companies have on an international scale.
The research and the data collected annually to prepare the report have provided the cooperative movement with a magnificent tool to evaluate their development, at the same time as allowing them to transmit the relevance of the cooperative model to public opinion and to provide decisive data to ensure that the public administrations develop policies that favour cooperative companies.
The document analyses the performance of the 300 largest cooperative organisations in the world and it makes a classification by sectors based on the economic data from 2019, a ranking on which the Fundación Espriu holds the third place in the healthcare sector. In the general classification that orders all the cooperatives without differentiating them by their sector of activity, the Fundacion Espriu holds the position 207.
In addition to the economic and employment data, this year’s edition pays special attention to two global questions: the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the large cooperatives and what actions they are developing to move forward towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
