The cooperative of the Americas XXI Regional Conference \u201cCooperatives, economic actors with a social and sustainable impact\u201d took place in San Jose, Costa Rica from 18th to 20th November, 2019. Ilana Gotz of Euricse was invited to speak during the Cooperative Knowledge Economy panel to present the World Cooperative Monitor, specifically focusing on the Americas region and the contributions of the Top 300 to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The conference <\/a>emphasized change, impact and sustainability and consisted in both plenary sessions and workshops designed to engage participants in critical thinking around the main topics of each day. The key focus throughout the 3 days was on the UN 2030 agenda<\/strong> and how cooperatives can contribute as economic actors with a social and sustainable impact. The speakers presented research, innovations, cases, and concrete tools for working towards meeting the objectives of the SDGs. The workshops provided participants with ideas and solutions to bring back to their home countries and cooperatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilana’s presentation included some preliminary results from the 2019 World Cooperative Monitor<\/strong>, providing details about the American organizations in the dataset, most of which come from the USA and Colombia. The Americas make up 33% of the Top 300<\/strong> with a total turnover of approximately 500 billion USD<\/strong> from organizations primarily in the insurance and agriculture\/food industries sectors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilana highlighted the need for data collection at the country level in order to be able to describe the economic and social impact of cooperatives. The research on the Top 300 and their contributions to the SDGs provides insights into the specific actions implemented, though the level of participation in the SDG reporting initiatives is relatively low <\/strong>amongst the largest cooperatives. As stated by the UN Secretary General,\u00a0\u201cwithout evidence\u00a0 of\u00a0 where\u00a0 we\u00a0 stand\u00a0 now\u00a0 we\u00a0 cannot\u00a0 confidently\u00a0 chart\u00a0 our path\u00a0 forward\u00a0 in\u00a0 realizing\u00a0 the\u00a0 Sustainable\u00a0 Development\u00a0 Goals.” Cooperatives must therefore continue to collect data and use the SDG reporting tools available, including the GRI initiative and UN Global Compact. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
