Co-operatives in the Welsh Economy report

We will be publishing a series of reports looking at the economic impact of co-operatives as part of the International Year of Co-operatives.

To start the year we have commissioned a report into the role co-operatives play in the economy of Wales. The report is written by the Bevan Foundation and brings together the most up-to-date research about co-operatives in Wales for the first time to examine their current impact and potential.

Highlights                                                                             

• £1bn is generated by co-operatives in Wales
• 7000 people are employed by co-operatives in Wales
• £19m co-operatives in Wales pre-tax profits
• Employees are much more likely to be involved in decision making
