PRESS RELEASE<\/h3>\n

Manchester, October 31st 2012<\/p>\n

World Co-operative Monitor launched in Manchester<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n

The global co-operative sector defied a general business trend and thrived trhough the heights of the Global Financial Crisis, according to a new scientific report.<\/p>\n

The inaugural World Co-operative Monitor<\/strong>, ranking the largest co-operative and mutual enterprises by turnover and collecting data on all sizes of co-operatives across the globe in categories, was launched today in Manchester<\/strong> by its partners the International Co-operative Alliance<\/strong> (ICA<\/strong>) and The European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprises<\/strong> (EURICSE<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

This new data demonstrates that not only do co-operatives have significant scale, but that this scale is sustainable even in the face of difficult global economic conditions\u201d said Charles Gould, ICA Director General<\/strong>. \u201cMore than this, with USD 2 trillion in annual revenue among the 300 largest co-operatives alone, this is a sector that is no sideplayer, but a major, global, economic force.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is only the first step in achieving the final goal of the World Co-operative Monitor. In fact, the World Co-operative Monitor will not be limited to this \u2013 its main goal is to give visibility to the largest co-operatives, in terms of economic and social impact, in their countries\u201d said Gianluca Salvatori, CEO of Euricse. \u201cThe World Co-operative team, therefore, intends to gradually collect data that can describe how the largest co-operatives in the world contribute to the welfare of the countries in which they operate in terms of social impact, employment, facilities, etc.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

These top 300 co-operative and mutual enterprises accounted for USD 1,975.6 billion<\/strong> (USD 2.0 trillion<\/strong>) in turnover of which USD 158,7 billion is derived from the banking and financial services sector and USD 977,2 billion from the insurance sector.<\/p>\n

The World Co-operative Monitor is an ICA initiative with the scientific collaboration of Euricse and is a continuation of the work begun by the ICA through its Global 300 list<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Provisionally for this year, given the still limited availability of questionnaires, the rankings presented are purely economic in nature, said Mr Salvatori. \u201cThe idea behind this new project is to define a new process of data collection, integration, and analysis<\/strong>, culminating in the creation of a regularly updated database<\/strong> containing economic, but also other social data, to monitor and demonstrate not only the economic, but also the social impact of the largest co-operatives worldwide.\u201d The World Co-operative Monitor 2012 reports on 2010 and is the first \u201cexploratory\u201d version<\/strong>. \u201cWe aim at developing a more comprehensive scientific project.\u201d<\/p>\n

“At a time when the world is at risk of falling back into recession, this new data provides a great message
\nfor the general public: there is a way to pursue sustainable business and at scale,” said Mr Gould.<\/p>\n

The development of this new, statistical model for monitoring the size and health of the co-operative
\nand mutual sector was overseen by a specially appointed steering committee of experts<\/strong>. The 13-member committee<\/strong> comprises experts including, from Japan, the head of the Robert Owen Association<\/strong>, Akira Kurimoto<\/strong>; from Finland, Panu Kalmi<\/strong> Professor of Economics at the University of Vaasa<\/strong> and member of the Academic Think-tank of the European Association of Co-operative Banks<\/strong>; and Barry W. Silver<\/strong>, Executive Vice President at the National Cooperative Bank<\/strong> in Washington, DC, for over three decades in the Corporate Lending Division.<\/p>\n

The report was supported by Cr\u00e9dit Coop\u00e9ratif, the Desjardins Group, the Indian Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), Organisa\u00e7\u00e3o das Cooperativas Brasileiras (OCB), and The Co-operative Group.<\/p>\n
