Abstract: Cooperatives have always acted to allow people to gain access to goods and services without being exploited. This involves doing business in compliance with a set of values based on what we call today sustainable development. By focusing on human needs, cooperatives respond to crises by contemporary sustainable development, delivering a distinct form of common values. Cooperatives seek to optimize the results for all intervenient, without pursuing the maximization of benefits for a single intervenient. To build an economic, social and ecological sustainable development is provisioned to be one the principal motivations and arguments of cooperative movement increase. This brings an answer to the question why cooperatives are necessary and beneficial in these historical circumstances. In simple terms, cooperatives are more effective than traditional business models.
