Have you joined The Revolution?
Last week, The Co-operative Group launched a radical new operating plan; a bold blueprint for how organisations can help to contribute to a more sustainable economy. The programme, which introduced a number of ambitious targets, was universally praised by media outlets, political figures and industry leaders alike.
Known as The Revolution, the programme has pledged radical reforms in a number of key areas, including the environment, ethical finance and global poverty. The Enterprise Hub is playing a significant role in The Revolution.
Our task, as it always was, is to continue to provide funding and training for those who wish to embrace a better and more sustainable way to conduct their business. Our remit is to continue to spread awareness of the co-operative movement across the United Kingdom. You can see some of the co-operatives we’ve helped in the 'Revolution' video below:
But, we're going to do even more.
The new Ethical Operating Plan has pledged significantly enhanced funding for co-operative enterprises and schools and we're honoured to be featuring so prominently in this bold and ground-breaking programme. Over the next three years, £11 million will be invested into co-operative enterprises throughout the UK, while a £20 million international Co-operative Development Loan Fund has also been announced.
So, it's a very exciting time for everyone at The Enterprise Hub. We'll have more news on our commitments to The Revolution in the future, but in the meantime, feel free to join the discussion about The Hub on Facebook or Twitter.
