  • Catholic Principles on Co-ops
    Mar 5 2025

    A cooperative (co-op) business is owned and operated by its members or workers, with profits shared among them. Unlike traditional businesses, co-ops are focused on meeting the needs of their members rather than generating profits for investors.

    In this episode of The Paul Street Journal, Brian and Freddy discuss how Catholic principles relate to the cooperative business model, some examples of co-ops, and what we can do to support businesses that utilize this model.
