Saturday, 7 July was International Day of Co-operatives – the biggest day in the biggest year for the world's 1.4 million co-operative businesses. A day when we focus attention on our business model and celebrate what we do every day for our members and communities.
On this day...
The day when the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon reaffirmed the role of co-operatives in economic, social and cultural development, in a week when our Foreign Minister Bob Carr told a
UN Forum: "Support for co-operatives is important because it creates new markets and new business opportunities where they have been destroyed by famine or conflict".
Thank you to all of our supporters and partners. We've reached the half way point of 2012 and look forward to continuing the co-operative effort for the next six months to make sure we use every day to increase the level of awareness of our co-operative enterprises.
