Cooptel

Cooptel is a telecommunications company with a mission to offer diverse and reliable telecommunications products and services, evolving in line with the needs of customers and their communities at competitive prices. The company achieves this through the use of evolving technologies and competent and dedicated partners. With the slogan "Explorer l'inattendu!" (Explore the unexpected), Cooptel is committed to cooperating, viewing it as an alternative way of doing business. Founded in 1944, the company operates within the Internet and Telecom industries. Cooptel operates as a cooperative, meaning it is a legal entity that brings together individuals or firms with common economic and social needs to operate a business in accordance with cooperative principles. Being a part of a cooperative offers several advantages, with members having voting rights regardless of the number of shares they hold and receiving profits in the form of annual rebates. Furthermore, cooperative members have the opportunity to express their opinions at annual general meetings and are eligible for positions as administrators of the cooperative's board. The cooperative is founded on the values of mutual aid, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. These values are guided by the Declaration on Cooperative Identity, which outlines the seven fundamental cooperative principles adopted by the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and recognized by cooperative movements worldwide. Despite the lack of current information on the headquarter location and recent investment activity, Cooptel's unique cooperative structure and commitment to cooperative principles set it apart in the telecommunications industry.
