The 2022 issue of the World Co-operative Monitor report explores the economic and social impact of the largest cooperatives and mutuals worldwide, providing rankings of the Top 300, sector rankings, and employment data. It is produced by the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and the European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprises (Euricse). 2022 marks the 11th edition of this annual research report.
The in-depth research and collaboration to produce this report continues to provide the cooperative movement with a significant tool to evaluate its own positioning and highlights the importance of cooperation to the public and policy-makers around the world.
A special focus for the 2022 report was on the challenges of digitalisation.
“After the research on the impact of Covid19 in the last 2 editions, we sought to investigate the changes the pandemic prompted in the use of digital tools, in particular, related to member engagement and the co-operative identity.”
