The examples filmed include a mineral water factory in Poland founded more than 60 years ago (Muszynianka), a consortium of social cooperatives in Milan providing labour inclusion to disadvantaged people and social services to thousands of citizens (Consorzio SIS), and an industrial cooperative group which is one of Spain’s main business groups (MONDRAGON Corporation).
