MONDRAGON started in 1956 Basque Spain. It's the largest worker cooperative in the world with 80,818 employees nationally and over 13,500 abroad.

The MONDRAGON cooperative model encourages people’s participation and involvement with company management, as well as profit sharing and company ownership. The focus on people, cooperation and inter-cooperative solidarity is captured in the group’s slogan, ‘Humanity at work’.

Environmental awareness and the need for wise resource management have turned energy into both a priority and an opportunity.

MONDRAGON offers a wide variety of training and consulting options for personal development, talent activation, or the acquisition of managerial and entrepreneurial skills.

We take measures to create a safe, quality working environment. Preventive health monitoring and constant attention to workplace safety are our main guarantees for providing our workers with a safe, quality environment. This fact is ratified by the workplace accident rates of the MONDRAGON cooperatives.

We use a wage solidarity system; we apply a fairer, more equitable wage scale.
To avoid differences between cooperatives, the wage level should be between 90% and 110% of the corporate reference and the workers are paid an amount in line with that of salaried workers from their sectoral and geographical environment.

MONDRAGON conforms to the principles of anti-discrimination. To discriminate socially is to make a distinction between people on the basis of class or category. Examples of social discrimination include racial, religious, sexual, sexual orientation, disability, and ethnic discrimination. To fulfil the first Rochdale Principle, a Co-operative society should not prevent anyone willing to participate from doing so on any of these grounds.
