The Co-operative and Mutual Economy 2023
Our 2023 report presents a compelling case for harnessing the full potential of co-operatives and mutuals in the UK, not only for economic growth, but also the betterment of society and communities.
This report demonstrates the resilience, growth and power of co-operation. Ahead of the political party conference season, I urge all parties to move away from business as usual and embrace those democratic business models that are giving people real power, control and a stake in the future.
– Rose Marley, CEO of Co-operatives UK
How do we compile the report?
The Co-operative and Democratic Economy report is compiled by Co-operatives UK on behalf of the UK co-operative movement. The report analyses data from thousands of co-op businesses across the UK. In 2023 we broadened out the report to include mutuals. We outline our methodology and data sources in each report.
