The cooperative aims to ensure the living costs of its members through mutual self-help. The cooperative principle enables an ecologically meaningful way of life and sustainably promotes a wide range of measures for environmental protection. To achieve this goal and to procure the necessary means, the cooperative can operate commercial and industrial enterprises and take over the marketing of the goods produced therein. It can establish branch offices, participate in other companies, acquire real estate and conclude all transactions related to this activity. The cooperative is based on the common endeavors of its members to contribute to the fulfillment of the cooperative's purpose as far as possible, following the guiding principle: 'One for all, all for one.' The cooperative is guided by Christian principles.
