The mission of the PCOC is to develop and implement a cooperative business infrastructure and an eco-system for worker-owned and member-owned businesses to thrive in the Pittsburgh area. We work with Pittsburgh's cooperatives, inclusive initiatives, and individuals. The PCOC raises awareness of cooperative business culture, facilitates the formation of new cooperatives, assists in the conversion of existing businesses to cooperatives, provides guidance on cooperative governance, builds community loyalty to cooperatives, and brings visibility to the triple bottom line advantage of cooperative businesses in the region.
