The challenge for our movement is clear: “How to conserve and create “wealth” in Normandy territories? Our response: Develop an economically, socially, territorially and environmentally responsible business model, capable of reconciling the economic and the human, of maintaining and creating sustainable employment that cannot be relocated in the Normandy territories. How to respond to this ambitious challenge: we can summarize our actions in three words, awareness, detection, and personalized support. 3 items which are developed in the “description of the operation”. With 150 years of history, the Scop and Scic movement, through its organization and its particularities, has demonstrated: that it is possible to reconcile the economic and the human, that its operating model responds both and in a modern way: to the aspirations of new entrepreneurs, to the requirements of the “market” while combining economic efficiency and social efficiency, to legislative and regulatory requirements. the State and the Regional Council of Normandy have reaffirmed an ESS development strategy focused on employment and the creation of values. The modernization and growth of the local economy requires, more than ever, the development of companies favoring long-term sustainable growth, aware of their social and environmental responsibilities, able to unite their employees around a collective professional project contributing to the sustainability of activity and employment. The very vocation of cooperative companies under Scop/Scic status is to create and develop sustainable, non-relocatable employment in the territories and thus to contribute to the economic and social wealth of their territory of establishment. The actions carried out daily by the team of the Regional Union of Scop de l'Ouest prove essential to the sustainability of the model: Support and develop the network of member cooperative societies Scop/Scic: Promote the ecosystem of the network through cooperative knowledge promoting the exchange of experience and the co-construction of partnerships, Federate and lead a network of partners, Represent said network with economic and financial partners, to acculturate public authorities to the Scop/Scic cooperative models, Promote the emergence of new Scop/Scic projects by: detecting and supporting project leaders, raising awareness among students and young entrepreneurs about the Scop/Scic cooperative model, supporting incubators and ideators. And this in order to create the necessary conditions for the creation, takeover, transmission and transformation of businesses or associations into Scop/Scic cooperative companies. As of December 31, 2019: - at the national level, the movement has 3,467 Scop/Scic members representing 63,143 employees, - the UR Scop Ouest has 482 Scop/Scic members representing 12,079 employees, i.e. 10,888 employees in full-time equivalent, - the Normandy region has 98 member Scop/Scic members representing 3,064 employees or 2,843 employees in full-time equivalent. In net figures, over the period of the last seven-year period, Ur Scop Ouest increased the number of member cooperative companies Scop/Scic by almost 21%, and the number of jobs by more than 33%. Ouest creates on average 30 Scop/Scic per year across all of its areas of intervention (Normandy, Brittany, Pays de la Loire). The actions carried out daily by the team of the Regional Union of Scops of the West prove essential to the sustainability of the model
