The NEMEON cooperative helps members solve their
problems by working together. That's what cooperatives are
all about. A cooperative business belongs to the people who
use it... people who have organized to provide themselves
with the goods and services they need. All across America,
120 million people are solving problems and enjoying a
better life because of their co-ops. People have formed
47,000 cooperatives for farming, banking, housing, child
care, health care, electric and telephone service, food
retailing and other goods and services. They trust their
co-ops to help them find solutions.In order to achieve success in this jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise, there is a basic set of principles that cooperatives practice. These are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, cooperative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.
