Cooperative governance

COOPERATIVE GOVERNANCE

 

In recent years, we have developed a number of research and intervention processes in the field of cooperative governance in close collaboration with the Social Management branch of the Mondragon Group. First, we produced a detailed diagnosis of the cooperative governance in several of the cooperatives in the group. Based on that diagnosis, we initiated a comprehensive identification of the challenges of cooperative governance and launched the development of various lines of work for innovation.

The Guide to Good Cooperative Governance (2019) has been a milestone in this development. Over the last two years, we have been working with cooperatives to identify the main challenges of socio-business projects and their common strategies for dealing with those challenges, and to analyze the role of cooperative governance in the development of strategies.

Our next step will be to help integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda) into the strategy of the MONDRAGON Group cooperatives.
