Worker Co-operative Code of Governance

Cover of the Worker Co-operative Code of Governance

This Code brings together the fundamentals of worker co-operative governance for the first time. Based on the seven co-operative principles agreed by the International Co-operative Alliance in 1995, it explains how to use these principles to both run your business and govern your co-operative successfully.

The writers of this document combine many decades of worker co-operative experience. Download and read the PDF Version or click on the seperate principles for the wiki version.

If you would like to contribute wiki pages or upload resources (guides, template forms, polices & procedures) to help worker co-operatives achieve the ideals set out in The Code please share them, or contact me.
