Kongsi Co-op started humbly with a group of concerned consumers who wanted more organic and biodynamic products and services to fill the current market gap. Kongsi Co-op has since been looking for the optimal operating model to fulfil their everyday needs. Kongsi Co-op hopes to reach out to more producers and consumers who share the same values and favour supporting the local circular economy. Kon
gsi Co-op is concerned with relationships and community building as much as with factors of production, consumption, labour, and finance. Relationships here include not only our relations to fellow human beings but also to mother earth nature. We believed in this production side of an economic life that is imbued with social responsibility. By collating eco-friendly and safe products or services and operating in a co-purchase mode, the profits generated will be utilised for both member and community development, thereby achieving a co-winning circular economy. Established in 2022, Kongsi Co-op has been striving to build a harmonious three-folding society through its vision, missions, values, and principles. The 7 foundations for sustainable living we aim to support and co-create:
1. Support sustainable farming practices such as organic and biodynamic farming
2. Choose products and services that are friendly to people and the environment
3. Practice green consumption model and minimal waste of resources
4. Conduct businesses without exploiting people or nature
5. Support local small-scale farmers and artisans
6. Provide diverse and holistic education in human development
7. Build a sustainable community through associative economics
As part of our efforts to inspire a lifelong sustainable lifestyle as community, we have an important arm of education body -- Kongsi Academy -- that carries out workshops and trainings related to essential skills that helps to unfold one's unique potential. We welcome you to join us on this journey to create the community that belongs to everyone.
