*MONDRAGON* Corporation is the embodiment of the co-operative movement that
began in 1956, the year that witnessed the creation of the first industrial
cooperative in Mondragón in the province of Gipuzkoa; its business
philosophy is contained in its Corporate Values:
- Co-operation.
- Participation.
- Social Responsibility.
- Innovation.
The Corporation’s Mission combines the core goals of a business
organisation competing on international markets with the use of democratic
methods in its business organisation, the creation of jobs, the human and
professional development of its workers and a pledge to development with
its social environment.
In terms of organisation, it is divided into four areas: Finance, Industry,
Distribution and Knowledge, and is today the foremost Basque business group
and the seventh largest in Spain.
