Online meeting: Feedback on the ICA’s Revised Statement on the Cooperative Identity
Event
We're inviting our members to join an online drop-in meeting to discuss proposed changes to the ICA's Statement on the Co-operative Identity. Join us on either Wednesday 29 or Thursday 30 July.
The ICA has been undertaking a review of the Statement on the Co-operative Identity over the last five years. The Co-operative Identity, adopted in 1995, provides the internationally agreed:
- Definition of a co-operative
- Co-operative values
- Seven co-operative principles
The ICA is reviewing the Statement to ensure it still fully reflects the realities and ambitions of today's global co-operative movement.
We have been involved in the review at various stages and now we’re inviting members to feed into our response on the Revised Statement by 31 July. We are compiling a response from Co-operatives UK on behalf of our members.
The ICA has published the revised statement and you can read more about the process on it's dedicated website and explaining the changes from the 1995 Statement.
