The Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS) is a co-operative umbrella organisation that serves and promotes commercial co-operative businesses and enterprise across multiple sections of the Irish economy.
Our mission is: Generating leadership, competitiveness and value through stronger co-operation and world class service.
Within ICOS we aim to embrace the pioneering, innovative and tenacious spirit of our founding members to help strengthen our co-operatives operating in today's commercial and competitive world. Our core values are vision, leadership and value.
ICOS member co-operatives collectively have over 150,000 individual members, employ >12,000 people in Ireland (a further 24,000 abroad) and has combined turnover of €10 billion.

Advisory and Education Related Co-ops
Community Oriented, Culture & Leisure Co-ops
Food, Fishing & Beverage Co-ops
Livestock Sector Co-ops
