Mission Statement:
It is the mission of the Astoria Cooperative to serve the Lower Columbia River community by providing fairly priced, wholesome foods and other goods in an ecologically sustainable, socially responsible, and economically appropriate manner.
7 Cooperative Principles
The Astoria Cooperative will be operated in accordance with the following seven cooperative principles adopted by the International Cooperative Alliances:
1. Voluntary and open ownership without arbitrary discrimination.
2. Democratic governance by owners with equal voting rights among owners and opportunity for participation in setting policies and making decisions.
3. Economic participation by owners with owners equitably contributing to and democratically controlling the capital of the Co-op, and with earnings being equitably applied to the benefit of owners in proportion to their patronage of the Co-op, to the development needs of the Co-op, and to the provision and extension of common services.
4. Autonomy and independence of the Co-op as a self-help organization controlled by its owners being strictly maintained.
5. Educating and training owners, directors, managers and employees so they can contribute effectively to the development of the Co-op, and informing the general public about the nature and benefits of cooperation.
6. Strengthening the cooperative movement by working with other cooperative organizations at all levels.
7. Working for sustainable development of the Co-op’s Community.
