Mission & Interests
Goals: Pellervo is a service and a lobbying organisation for all Finnish cooperatives and a forum for cooperative activities.
Our goal is to make the cooperative business model more known and offer the cooperative model as a competitive alternative for those thinking about starting a business. Pellervo strives to influence the legislative work and the economic and financial policies in Finland to accommodate the cooperative business model.
Pellervo has an office in Brussels together with MTK - the Central Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners,

Brussels office gathers information from different sources, analyses it and communicates towards the organisations in Finland. Brussels office also takes actively part in the work of the European farmers and agri-cooperatives organisation Copa-Cogeca. Pellervo is also a member of Cooperatives Europe.
