The United Nations support for an International Year of Co-operatives (IYC) in 2012 galvanized the global movement across every region and every sector uniting co-operatives behind a single logo and tagline.
The International Co-operative Alliance, eager to build on the success of the International Year, has developed a global co-operative identity that all co-operatives can align with to differentiate from other businesses and display a unity of purpose.
The Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals will be assisting any Australian co-operatives in obtaining use of the marque from the ICA. Please email [email protected] with any inquiries.
View the official website for the co-op marque, including registration.
