Description This study, carried out in Britain, sought to find out the triple-bottom line performance initiatives adopted by worker co-operatives and to determine the level of satisfaction with their performance as an indicator for effective achievement of objectives. Although survey questionnaires were the main instrument for primary data collection, semi-structured follow-up interviews were also conducted to supplement the method. The study found out that apart from the achievement of the economic and social well-being of members, worker co-operatives have also responded effectively to the social challenges of their communities by trying to solve the problems of unemployment and social exclusion. Some of their objectives include democratization of the work place; integration of the marginalized members of the society; fair trade and environment conservation. The study also found out that worker co-operatives seek to promote the fullest possible participation in the economic and social development of groups of people who have hit her to encountered economic difficulties within the existing economic infrastructure that is not able to provide them with opportunities. JEL: E24, J24, O15  Article visualizations:
