Funded by direct member investment, rather than investment from third-party shareholders, co-operative members "decide on the values of the enterprise, which don’t necessarily need to be about the maximization of profits." – DisCO Manifesto

Cooperatives succeed when values are aligned around communal benefit to pooling resources and a shared desire to "avoid anti- competitive or extractive behavior."

DisCO Manifesto

Co-operatives offer a way for people to be rewarded for their labour while committing to shared social values.
