Empowering residents within housing estates to adopt sustainable behaviours
- February 2024
The region is known worldwide for its dense network of cooperatives that contribute to 30% of the region’s GDP and involve 2/3rds of the population as members. Cooperatives in Emilia-Romagna are present in most sectors of the economy, including retail, agribusiness, social services, financial services, insurance, and transportation.
Learning from other network members is an important benefit of Network membership, and this visit allowed elected members and officers to see first-hand how a cooperative region operates.
During the three-day visit, 25 delegates from across the UK met the Presidents of several Italian cooperatives.
