The ICA and Euricse released the World Cooperative Monitor 2022
The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and the European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprises (Euricse) released the 2022 edition of the World Cooperative Monitor (WCM) during a webinar in collaboration with the ICA International Cooperative Entrepreneurship Think Tank (ICETT). The report contains the Top 300 rankings of the world’s largest cooperatives and a special focus on the challenges of digitalisation.
The WCM is a project designed to collect robust economic, organizational, and social data about cooperatives worldwide. It is the only report of its kind collecting annual quantitative data on the global cooperative movement. For 11 years now, the ICA, with the scientific and technical support of Euricse, has produced this annual research report aiming to illustrate the economic and social contributions of cooperatives and mutuals. Thanks to their work, ICA and Euricse have provided the cooperative movement with a significant tool to evaluate its own positioning and highlight the importance of cooperation in the world to the general public and policy makers.
