Mutual Value Measurement Framework© (MVM) accreditation discount

Cooperatives and mutuals create value differently. Financial performance matters, but it does not always capture member benefit, long-term resilience or community impact.

The Mutual Value Measurement Framework© is the first accredited impact measurement methodology designed with and by cooperatives and mutuals. It provides a structured way to identify, measure and articulate the total value your organisation creates.

Through a common set of dimensions and shared language, MVM enables co-ops and mutuals to:

  • Quantify member value beyond traditional financial metrics

  • Align reporting with mutual purpose

  • Strengthen stakeholder communication and board reporting

  • Support regulatory and policy engagement with credible evidence

  • Demonstrate long-term contribution to communities and the wider economy

Full Members of Cooperative Business NZ have access to the BCCM member MVM licence and accreditation discount, providing a pathway to implement the framework at preferential rates.

This benefit supports Principle 5 Education, Training and Information and strengthens the ability of member-owned enterprises to evidence their distinctive contribution in a corporate-dominated measurement environment.

Discount is available exclusively to Full Members.
