Abstract

In recent years (since 2010), the economic model of the common good is being promoted, which shows a number of cooperatives as an example of what it promotes at a corporate level. This paper seeks to highlight the interest of cooperatives for social improvement, in general, and the context in which they are present, in particular, going beyond the interests of each individual cooperative. This is closely related to the aims of the International Cooperative Alliance to promote behaviours that can lead to social change and to a sustainable economy, which we recognise as the ultimate aims of cooperativism.
