Bermuda Cooperative Legislation
The Bermuda Government is desirous of creating a cooperative eco-system in Bermuda and as such, appointed a Director of Economic and Cooperative Development in February 2018 within the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation. Since that time, the Director has involved the Island in continuous cooperative education and public engagement initiatives aimed at raising the awareness, knowledge, and skills of cooperatives. Now, in order to shore up and progress the cooperative framework, the BEDC and the Government believe specific cooperative legislation is needed.
