MONDRAGON joins the United Nations in defending the role of cooperatives in the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs

During the event, held online at the United Nations in New York, the International Day of Cooperatives and the tenth anniversary of the UN International Year of Cooperatives were commemorated. Furthermore, the event was an excellent opportunity for UN Member States to share practical experiences and plans to help cooperatives advance the Sustainable Development Goals.

Iñigo Albizuri, director of Institutional Relations of MONDRAGON, highlighted in his speech the role of cooperatives, "they have a proven track record of addressing inequality and empowering workers, contributing to SDG 8"

MONDRAGON also had the opportunity to appear in this forum. Iñigo Albizuri, director of Institutional Relations, highlighted in his speech the role of cooperatives, "they have a proven track record of addressing inequality and empowering workers, contributing to SDG 8: decent work and economic growth" and also highlighted the need to articulate "alliances with governments and public-private associations to increase their influence".
