Model of the Concept of Transition of Cooperation to a Green Economy
摘要
Today’s consumer cooperation system in Russia has a well-developed network of stores, warehouses, supply points, and production facilities. Collaboration among Russian consumers is synonymous with a comfortable world featuring a stable economy founded on the conscious choices of each member of society and shared values (e.g., honesty, openness in business, respect, and care for people and the environment). Members of consumer cooperatives employ eco-friendly technologies in the production of cooperative food products. The Russian cooperative system is oriented towards the friendliness, humanity of society, creativity in work, justice, innovation, and social development. Consumer cooperation places significant emphasis on the development of the social infrastructure of rural areas and ensuring food security for the rural population. This research explores a model for the concept of transitioning cooperation to a green economy, which is relevant in the context of promoting the green growth strategy in Russia. Green growth entails stimulating economic growth and development while preserving natural resources and ensuring their continuous provision of resources and ecosystem services, upon which our well-being depends. To achieve this, green growth must stimulate investments and innovations that will form the basis for sustainable growth and lead to the emergence of new economic opportunities.
