Apex body BCCM has drawn up the document after an 18 month consultation.
The Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals has released the first edition of its governance principles for co-ops and mutuals.
The apex body for the Australian co-op sector compiled the principles after an 18-month development and consultation process in partnership with the Co-operative and Mutual Enterprise (CME) 100 Chairs’ Forum – a body set up in November 2015 to promote the development of the “highest standards of corporate governance”.
There was also detailed consultation with BCCM members and governance experts.
