SUMMARY:International Day of Cooperatives
DESCRIPTION:On July 2\, cooperatives all around the world will celebrate the 100th International Day of Cooperatives (#CoopsDay). A decade on from the UN International Year of Cooperatives\, which showcased the unique contribution of cooperatives to making the world a better place\, this year’s #CoopsDay slogan —“Cooperatives Build a Better World”— echoes the theme of the International Year. \n“Cooperatives are answering the wake-up call of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres\, who warned that the world is ‘on the edge of an abyss — and moving in the wrong direction’\, and exclaimed that ‘to restore trust\, and inspire hope\, we need cooperation\, we need dialogue\, we need understanding’. For nearly two centuries\, cooperatives have been pulling in this direction. This was amply highlighted at the 33rd World Cooperative Congress\, held by the International Cooperative Alliance in December 2021\, which focused a spotlight on how their shared identity is moving cooperatives to take action to address the world’s problems” declared Bruno Roelants\, Director General of the ICA.

SUMMARY:ESG Partner Project webinar: Mutual Value Measurement
DESCRIPTION:Invitation only – BCCM Member – ESG Partner Project webinar \nMutual Value Measurement© \nThursday\, 28 April 2022\, 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm \nThis webinar is about Mutual Value Measurement. \nOne of the greatest challenges for co-operatives and mutuals (CMEs) is to be able to quantify and communicate consistently the value that our businesses create. \nThat’s why the BCCM teamed up with researchers at Monash University’s Monash Business School\, our members and the co-operative and mutual enterprise sector\, to find a new way of measuring our positive impact on our members\, our customers\, the community and the economy – the Mutual Value Measurement (MVM)©. \nThe Mutual Value Measurement Framework© helps CMEs to measure their total value creation (mutual value) through a set of common dimensions and shared language. \nThe MVM Framework© can be used by CMEs across different industries\, of different sizes\, and with different capabilities. \nIncorporating MVM into your business can help you realise the total mutual value you create\, leading to significant business and commercial benefits. \nThe MVM Framework© has been field-tested through research by Monash University’s Business School and is available with an implementation guide and templates that will allow interested CMEs to assess and plan the full adoption of the MVM Framework©. \nLearn about the MVM from the BCCM and Monash University.
