As the apex organization for Danish cooperatives, we promote the cooperative alternative across many sectors of the economy, from banking and insurance to craftsman and construction. Established in 1922, Kooperationen provides high quality professional legal and governance advice and guidance to new cooperative start-ups as well as to established cooperatives.

Led by our cooperative values and principles we aim to bring together all those with a passion and interest in cooperative action and we run our business solely for the benefit of our members. And that is precisely what makes us a bit different from other conventional employers’ organisations in Denmark.

Born over 100 years ago out of a need for radical education that fights for social justice, our mission is to inspire and enable people, through co-operative learning, to transform lives and tackle inequalities in their communities, creating a fairer world. 

Coopermondo is the NGO of Confcooperative. It promotes the creation and empowerment of cooperative enterprises in developing countries - mainly through training and technical assistance activities - with the aim of reducing inequalities and promoting economic democracy, inclusive and sustainable development and decent work for all.
