🌍 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

Today, we celebrate our 27 million consumer-members who not only shop but also actively shape their co-operatives. In consumer co-operatives, being a consumer-member means having a voice in decisions and ensuring that every product reflects shared values.

This year’s theme, "𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘴, 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴", reminds us that trust and safety are at the heart of responsible consumption. Our co-operative model shows that quality, transparency, and sustainability go hand in hand 🤝

Being a consumer-member means more than buying—it means belonging and contributing to communities.

🌱💡🤝 EU consumer co-operatives at work!

During the Euro Coop Board Meeting in , we held a special meeting at the European Parliament, hosted by MEP Camilla Laureti, and had the chance to meet several MEPs.

We are proud of the insightful exchanges that highlighted the importance of consumer co-operatives in driving sustainability, innovation, and ethical supply chains.

We also presented case studies from Coop Sweden, Skupina COOP, and Coop Italy, showing how co-operative initiatives translate into concrete impact across Europe 💪

🌍 Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future

Our agrifood systems are at a crossroads. Conflict, climate extremes, and economic inequality and fragile supply chains continue to push millions into hunger. Nearly 673 million people face hunger, while a lot of food is lost or wasted, and obesity keeps on rising. The imbalance is stark: abundance and absence exist side by side, as the Food and Agriculture Organization points out.

Cooperatives are showing what working hand in hand looks like: farmers and fishers sharing resources, producers promoting sustainable production that protects land and biodiversity, and communities rebuilding local economies around fairness, equity, and care

From the land we till to the food on our tables, everyone has a role to play. When we organize, we build food systems that are fairer, greener, and more resilient.

The challenges are immense, but so is the power of cooperation. More work needs to be done. Every choice, from what we grow to what we eat, can bring us closer to better foods and a better future for all.

🌍 Today, we observe the International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste!

Consumer co-operatives across Europe are proving that sustainability is not just a goal, but a community-led investment in people, planet, and future generations. By promoting responsible consumption, reducing waste, and supporting local communities, co-ops are turning the ambitions of UN SDG 12 into everyday action.

As we celebrate 2025 — the International Year of Cooperatives, we reaffirm our commitment to building a better world through sustainable food systems.
