2025 has been designated by the United Nations as the International Year of Cooperatives. It is the only business model to be honored with such a distinction—not once, but twice—under the theme “Cooperatives Build a Better World.” What makes this model so unique? Can cooperatives rightfully claim that they contribute to a better world? This session will explore how cooperatives are playing a role in addressing pressing issues such as the sustainable transition. Are they acting as frontrunners in this domain? What challenges do they face, and what achievements have they made? Our experienced panel will enthusiastically share their insights and experiences during this engaging morning session.
