About Us
Sharjah Co-operative Society
- The Sharjah Co-operative Society was founded in March 1977 by ministerial decree (no. 16, 1977) as the first co-operative society in the United Arab Emirates. This came under the directive of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qassimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
- The main objective if this was to spread cooperative services in Sharjah and to socially and economically raise the standard of living of its inhabitants by adopting the principles of co-operative organisations.
As a co-operative society, we are very much focussed on the following principles:
• We are committed to our shareholders
• We continue to develop our branches, build new sites and develop new services for the people of Sharjah
• We are committed to our role in Sharjah society, co-operating with different segments and institutions across the Emirate
• We continue to spend part of our profits to support social activities as part of our responsibility to serve our community
