Germinal: since 1993 practicing cooperatives, self-management and ecology

In 1993 a small number of people we started the adventure of creating a cooperative of ecological consumption. A project that after many efforts and difficulties we have consolidated and broadened with five activity centers.
We are an eco-store, but a cooperative self-managed accounts where clients are partners with equal rights and obligations that we work with our volunteer work.
We have close relationships with producers and suppliers, we maintain permanent contacts with other organizations ecological consumer Catalonia (Ecoconsum, with Grace Co) and participate in various alternative social movements (food sovereignty, anti-GMO, local and district assemblies).
As it consumes?
Once a week, the day of the opening, bill and collect the fresh product requested and the stock you want. The weekly fresh charge through our website or directly to local opening day.
How it works?
The tasks of each center of activity performed by working committees. Each committee is responsible for specific areas of activity of the cooperative. All members are on a committee. The coordination between the centers of activity made by commission representatives. There are five joint commissions: Purchasing and Quality Management, External Relations, Training and Information.
Our purchasing criteria are:
All products are organic
The products are fresh seasonal
Products that are local, in order to save costs of storage, transportation and marketing, to ensure the highest product quality good and minimizing the ecological footprint
That products are correctly labeled and carried downstream.
Ethics and ecological aspects, social solidarity and the producer or producer are as close as possible to the Cooperative
