<p>Updating to match new version of source page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In 1995, the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) adopted the revised Statement on the Cooperative Identity. A cooperative is thus defined as <br /> <br /> &quot;an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise&quot;.<br /> <br /> For its values and principles, see [https://www.ica.coop/en/cooperatives/cooperative-identity here].<br /> <br /> It can be applied to all sectors of activity : trade, agriculture, alimentation, industry, crafts, transport, banking, education, housing, etc.<br /> <br /> For whom?:<br /> <br /> Usually, the members are the entrepreneurs. For example, farmers can belong to an agricultural cooperative.<br /> Worker cooperatives, as the [[SCOP]] in France, are the only cooperatives where the associate members are the employees, who have the majority of the capital. Some cooperatives have several stakeholders: the workers, but also the beneficiaries of the activity, public authorities, etc. (such as the [[SCIC (Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif)]], in France).</div>
