2. Democratic Member Control : Co-operatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting their policies and decision making. Elected representatives of these Co-operatives are responsible and accountable to their members.

3. Member's Economic Participation : Members contribute equitably and control the capital of their Co-operative democratically.
