The Rochdale Principles are a set of ideals for the operation of cooperatives. They were first set out by the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers in Rochdale, England, in 1844 and have formed the basis for the principles on which co-operatives around the world operate to this day. The implications of the Rochdale Principles are a focus of study in Co-operative economics. The original Rochdale Principles were officially adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance in 1937 as the Rochdale Principles of Co-operation. Updated versions of the principles have been adopted by the ICA in 1966 as the Co-operative Principles and in 1995 as part of the Statement on the Co-operative Identity.
