The Report contains the much-anticipated Top 300 rankings of the world\u2019s largest cooperatives and mutuals and a special focus on member benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Globally, the top 3 positions in the podium are held by two French groups from the financial sector: <strong>Groupe Cr\u00e9dit Agricole<\/strong> in first place and <strong>Groupe BPCE<\/strong> in third; with <strong>Germany&#8217;s REWE<\/strong> from the retail trade sector coming in second.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monitor.coop\/\">DISCOVER THE WCM<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Launched during a webinar in collaboration with the ICA International Cooperative Entrepreneurship Think Tank (ICETT), this year\u2019s report is the 12<sup>th<\/sup> edition, and it provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a list of the worlds\u2019 largest 300 cooperatives and mutuals,<\/li>\n<li>an analysis of the economic sector and<\/li>\n<li>a focus on how large cooperatives and mutuals convey their identity and inform the public about their benefits to members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each year the World Cooperative Monitor produces a <strong>robust database<\/strong> that shows not only the economic importance of the cooperative business model, but also the <strong>global impact cooperatives and mutuals have on their members and communities<\/strong>. This is accomplished by building on years of research and data collection, and continually refining and improving the methodology.<\/p>\n<p>The in-depth research and collaboration to produce this report continues to provide the cooperative movement with a significant tool to evaluate its own positioning and highlights the importance of cooperative enterprises to the public and policy-makers around the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeroen Douglas, Director General of the ICA<\/strong> says: \u201c<em>The cooperative movement is not merely about numbers and rankings; it is about people coming together to build a better future. The Top 300 rankings and sectoral analyses featured in this report showcase the diversity and magnitude of cooperative impact. From agriculture to finance, healthcare to energy, cooperatives are transforming industries, putting people before profits, and creating sustainable models for the benefit of all. In a world facing numerous challenges, from economic uncertainties to social inequalities, the cooperative model emerges as a beacon of hope, demonstrating its unique ability to foster inclusive growth, shared prosperity, and community resilience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gianluca Salvatori, Secretary General <\/strong>of Euricse, stresses the importance of measuring the size as well as the impact of the cooperative economy, especially given the increased visibility over recent years of the social economy. &#8220;<em>Important global initiatives, such as the European Social Economy Plan, recognition within the European Industrial Strategy and the European Council Recommendation of November 2023, underscore the importance of the social economy. These initiatives also validate and challenge this type of reporting, inviting the World Cooperative Monitor (WCM) to contribute to a more precise understanding of the social economy, particularly in the cooperative sector<\/em>.&#8221; In a dynamic landscape where the social role of cooperatives is increasingly evident, Salvatori also notes that the new report also contains an in-depth look at the benefits that these organizations provide to their members, with an emphasis on the online communication strategy they adopt to convey the identity of cooperatives and their ability to provide added value.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Focus 2023 \u2013 Cooperative identity and member benefits \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s report features a chapter focused on <strong>how large cooperatives and mutuals convey their identity<\/strong> as cooperative or mutual and how they inform the public online about the member benefits to enlarge their social base. They employ diverse elements, including direct statements, historical narratives, structures, business practices and descriptions of their cooperative nature. Additionally, they highlight various member benefits, both tangible and intangible, which vary according to the specific type of cooperative.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The 2023 Top 300<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Top 300 cooperatives and mutuals in the world report a total turnover of more than two trillion USD (2,409 billion USD), based on 2021 financial data. These organizations operate in various economic sectors, with <strong>Agriculture<\/strong> (105 enterprises) and <strong>Insurance<\/strong> (96 enterprises) leading the list. <strong>Wholesale and Retail Trade<\/strong> represent the third biggest economic sector (57 enterprises) in the ranking.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Top 300 ranking<\/strong> <strong>based on<\/strong><strong> turnover<\/strong>, on the podium there are two financial and one retail enterprise. The first two positions belong to the French <strong>Groupe Cr\u00e9dit Agricole<\/strong> (117.01 Billion USD turnover in 2021) and the German <strong>REWE Group <\/strong>(82.03 Billion USD turnover in 2021).
