This book presents a systematic view of the cooperative sector of the economy from the standpoint of sustainable development. On the one hand, the book reveals the consequences of business cooperation for the implementation of global sustainable development goals, primarily in terms of environmental protection and food security. On the other hand, the book defines the essence of sustainable development of the cooperative sector of the economy as a demonstrative economic practice that reflects the general state of socio-economic systems. Scientific, methodological, and applied recommendations for the systemic optimization of the management of the cooperative sector of the economy in the interests of simultaneously achieving its maximum positive impact on the implementation of sustainable development goals, as well as maintaining its stability are proposed.The book contains the best works based on the results of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Cooperation and Sustainable Development”, which was held on December 15-16, 2020. Its target audience is scientists studying processes of business structures cooperation, business entities carrying out cooperation, as well as public authorities, which will find guidelines for improving state regulation of the cooperative sector of the economy in this book.

This book is devoted to systematization of experience and identification of prospects for sustainable cooperation to create “green” supply chains based on environmentally friendly technologies and responsible innovations. The features of the organization and advantages of “green” supply chains based on environmentally friendly technologies and responsible innovations are substantiated. Sustainable cooperation as an innovation of the “Decade of Action” and its contribution to the creation of “green” supply chains are studied. The industry features of sustainable cooperation for the creation of “green” supply chains based on environmentally friendly technologies and responsible innovations are identified. The international experience of sustainable cooperation for the creation of “green” supply chains based on environmentally friendly technologies and responsible innovations is discussed. Recommendations to improve the use of environmentally friendly technologies and responsible innovations in sustainable cooperation to create “green” supply chains are proposed.
