Cooperation: Cooperatives change the employment-wage relationship into a labor-income relationship. In a cooperative, people are the most valuable assets and the group dictates the rules. Everyone builds and wins together

Transformation: Being a cooperative member means impacting his/her own reality, and the reality of the community and the world. It means spreading dreams and showing that it is possible to reach them without leaving anyone behind.

Balance: the cooperative member believes that it is possible to put together what at first seems to be opposite: the economic and the social, the individual and the collective, productivity and sustainability.
