A duo of leading Australian co-operative and mutual enterprises has been listed among the world’s top 300 largest co-operatives by the World Co-operative Monitor, with both registering annual turnovers of more than $2.4 billion.

Co-operative grain giant CBH and health insurance mutual HCF were recognised by The World Co-operative Monitor, which collected data for 2,379 organisations and ranked the top 300 based on their turnover and the ratio of turnover to gross domestic product (GDP) per capita.

Both organisations are founding members of the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals (BCCM), and CBH is Australia’s largest co-operative, owned and controlled by about 4,200 Western Australian grain growers.
