CoopFR

Coop FR is the national voice of France’s cooperative businesses, representing a network of 23,000 enterprises that employs 1.3 million people. It promotes a model of entrepreneurship built on working together, democratic decision-making and the fair sharing of profits. The organization presents cooperatives as businesses serving people and local territories, with respect for human values, and highlights their contribution to the social and solidarity economy.

Coop FR helps visitors understand the cooperative model through accessible explanations, frequently asked questions, key figures, publications and news. Its website also features cooperative stories and testimonials, information about the wider international cooperative movement, and resources for people who want to create a cooperative, promote the model or learn more. The organization shares updates on issues affecting cooperatives and participates in initiatives such as the Mission Reprise’s work on business transfers and succession. Through its communications and advocacy, Coop FR raises awareness of cooperative enterprises, their performance and their relevance across different industries, while encouraging a broader understanding of collective, democratic business.
