8.United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has a strong tradition of cooperative movements and social enterprises. The Rochdale Pioneers, who founded the first modern cooperative in 1844, played a crucial role in shaping the global cooperative movement. Today, the UK’s cooperative sector includes retail, finance, housing, and worker-owned businesses, contributing to local economic development, job creation, and social well-being.
