🏘 Who stands strong when times get tough? #CoopVsCorp

When companies cut and move on, coops stay.

Research shows they kept jobs & local economies going through the 2008 and COVID crises.

Real strength isn’t about size, it’s about staying power. 🌱

😊 Where are workers the happiest? #CoopVsCorp

In #coops, people have a voice in decisions & a share in success. Shared ownership and fairer pay build trust, purpose, and motivation.

Studies show higher job satisfaction and wellbeing than in traditional firms. 💚

🔑Inspiring discussions today at our webinar on the housing crisis.

The EU needs new public-private partnerships that unite authorities & citizens through social economy models. The cooperative & SE models prove that housing can be affordable, sustainable, and community-led. It’s ⌛ to scale them up!

🌱#CoopVsCorp what’s more future proof?

Short-term profit may win the quarter but rarely builds the future. #Coops invest in renewables, local food systems & circular production, creating value that lasts.

Studies show they're long-term & more resilient in crises.💚
