Cooperatives around the world operate according to the same set of core principles and values, adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance. Cooperatives trace the roots of these principles to the first modern cooperative founded in Rochdale, England in 1844. Since our beginnings in 1937, the Swarthmore CO-OP has been guided by these principles and continues to operate according to them each and every day.
