Green Worker Cooperatives
Industry Cooperatives
A cooperative developer helping build worker-owned businesses, with community wealth-building aims and governance tied to cooperative incubation. Green Worker Cooperatives scores well because ownership is comparatively aligned and governance has stronger accountability than peers, and no current penalty outweighs that structure.
Why this matters: Cooperative-development groups affect whether structural alternatives can scale.
