Equal Exchange is working to support the growth of co-operatives by using a method that is similar to practices found in Spain and Italy - two countries that have a flourishing and active co-operative business sector.
In those countries, and often required by law, co-ops must invest a certain percentage of their profits to fund the future of the co-op movement.
