Introduction 4 Introduction The history of LagunAro, EPSV de Empleo (hereinafter, LagunAro, EPSV or LagunAro) goes back many years. In fact, in 2017 we celebrated 50 years since LagunAro was established with the current model, in 1967. In any case, the idea, or the embryo, of LagunAro was created in 1959 when, thanks to the vision of Mr José María Arizmendiarrieta. What at first appeared to be a social drama, after dismissal of the cooperative members from Social Security at the time, became an opportunity to found an Entity based on the values and principles of the cooperative model. Since its inception, LagunAro has always two aspects, which can not be separated at any time. On the one hand, it plays a key role as the backbone and protector of the social security needs of the members of the cooperatives (illness, unemployment, retirement, etc.). On the other hand, the effective, responsible and professional economic-financial management of the resources available is necessary at all times, in order to ensure the offering, in appropriate conditions, of the social coverage to the group. This economic-financial aspect is of particular importance in terms of the coverage of long-term pensions, financed through the capitalisation system, insofar as the correct management of resources is crucial for obtaining the necessary financial-actuarial balance. To this day, LagunAro, EPSV is a very important agent in our environment due to the volume of people that are under the Entity’s social coverage and the Equity Fund maintained for the coverage of pensions (€6,477 million), so that the level of demand in its management is very high. This Annual Report aims to capture the management and developed recorded by LagunAro, EPSV during the year 2017 and explain it to all the agents with whom this Social Security Entity interacts (Cooperatives, mutualists, pensioners, institutions, society in general, etc.). The information presented, despite the special attention to the events that took place in 2017, is part of a broader time horizon that also allows us to obtain a multi-year vision, which is so important for a Social Security Entity as LagunAro, EPSV. In general, the management carried out at LagunAro, EPSV during the year 2017 can be considered as positive. Regarding the Entity’s pension system, it should be emphasised, first, that the financial returns obtained from the management of the investments, including the changes in the value of the assets that we hold in our portfolio, have been higher than those necessary, with the subsequent strengthening of the equity affected by the coverage of our pensions. In turn, moderate inflationary pressures have enabled lower actuarial needs (for a hypothesis used in 2017 of the CPI at 1.4%, the actual figure has ended at 1.1%). In this context of higher-than-expected return generation and lower actuarial needs, the Security or Solvency Margin has been strengthened, standing at 15.2% (14.3% as of late 2016). In the field of distribution or short-term benefits, in 2017, the behaviour of the three main benefits was uneven. While the benefits of Health and Employment Assistance have evolved better than foreseen in the Management Plan, the Temporary Disability benefit has not reached the absenteeism target established (in fact, instead of being reduced compared to the absenteeism reported in 2016, it has increased). In the specific case of the Health Assistance benefit, the assessment to be made regarding its evolution is very positive, as the level of expenditure has been below the forecasts and the figures reported in 2016, as well as the progress being achieved in the processes of improving the efficiency and management of this benefit. 5 Regarding the Employment Assistance benefit, the evolution maintained in 2017 can also be described as positive. Although the volume of expenditure remains high, with reductions being reported year after year, while the Fund that maintains this benefit is increasing, which should provide us with better conditions to face the coming years, in which it is estimated that the level of expenditure should remain high. In fact, as of late 2017, the aggregate Fund was already higher than the kept by this benefit at the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008. This good performance is due, among other things, to the large number of temporary relocations that have been maintained, which have allowed us to keep reducing the incidence of effective unemployment, while continuing to manage definitive solutions. Both factors have contributed to mitigating the social impact of the complex personal situation in which the members of the Cooperatives affected by unemployment and liquidation are experiencing and expenses have been lower than those of the previous year. In turn, in the case of Temporary Disability, the absenteeism rate as of 2017 was slightly above that of 2016, so it has not been possible to break the upward trend undertaken in 2014. In any case, this increase has been lower than that registered in the public system. Finally, we should not forget that, in 2017, after eight consecutive years of gradual reduction of the group of active mutualist entities, this decreasing trend has been broken and there has been an increase in it, supported by the incorporation of staff in certain significant cooperatives, which is an indicator that the situation of the cooperatives is improving year after year. 6 2. Protected group 7 Protected group Policyholders At year-end, the group of active contributors of LagunAro, EPSV amounted to 28,534 policyholders. Of this group, the bulk (27,986 contributors) are the active policyholders of the 127 cooperatives affiliated with LagunAro, EPSV. Simultaneously, a group of 548 people are not currently active in their cooperatives and maintain, at their expense, contributions at LagunAro (contribution surpluses, capitalisation contributions, etc.). As an innovation, it should be noted that after eight consecutive years of gradual reduction of the collective, 2017 has witnessed an increase in it, supported by the incorporation of staff in certain significant cooperatives. These policyholders are distributed into four contribution types: Interim Mixed Model (Rate 2): only applies to policyholders born before 31.12.1950 and 31.12.1960 respectively. Contributions to the Public System, the Special System for Self-Employed Workers (RETA), are made at the minimum rate. This is a closed group that will gradually be reduced each year. Standard Mixed Model (Rate 3): applicable to indefinite policyholders born after 1.1.1961 and any born before this date who decided to opt for this contribution method. The pension contribution rate is distributed proportionally between the Public System (60%) and LagunAro (40%). Special Model (Rate 4): special method, applicable in very specific cases, in which no contributions are made to the LagunAro pension system, and contributions are made exclusively for this type of services to the Public System at real base rates. In any case, this group does contribute for the LagunAro distribution allowances. Specific Duration Policyholder (MDD): the contribution and distribution between LagunAro and the RETA is equal to that of the Standard Mixed Model, although the services to which policyholders are entitled are adapted at LagunAro to the specific duration of the relationship with the company.

An analysis of the Managerial Discourse of Mondragon Cooperatives Abstract A trend towards conventional managerialism has been identified in cooperative organizations, and it has been suggested that this is a symptom of the phenomenon of degeneration in cooperatives. Although managerial discourse is at the heart of the dominant managerialism, not much attention has been given to this trend. To fill this gap in the literature, the present study analyzes the managerial discourse of the organizations grouped within the Mondragon cooperative experience, based on a content and discourse analysis of the organizational information published by the Corporation and its 70 member-cooperatives. A mainstream popular managerial discourse is identified in the majority of the member-cooperatives, a discourse disconnected from the discourse of the Corporation. In the latter the basic cooperative values and principles are more strongly emphasized.

  • Case Study 6: Mondragon International Clusters
    Mondragon Multi-localisation Strategy: Innovating a Human Centred Globalisation 383 CASE STUDY 6: MONDRAGON INTERNATIONAL CLUSTERS Introduction The Mondragon co-operatives history is that of a group based on geographically proximity of the co-operatives themselves, and on inter-cooperation among them. Mondragon and the Deba Valley; while compared to Emilia Romana (Becattini, 1990), it has been identified as an Industrial District. The diversity of sectors, markets and technologies among Mondragon co-operatives can be attributed to the strategies followed by Grupo Caja Laboral back in the 1970s and 80s. In 1991 the Mondragon Group’s industrial divisions were re-structured according to sectors, in order to enhance the possibilities thereof. The Mondragon Group’s new structure, organised around economic sectors, was coherent with the clustering strategy implemented in the Basque Country and based on the recommendations made by Professor Michael Porter from Harvard University. Today the Mondragon industrial co-operatives are not only divided into 12 industrial divisions (see Figure 3.9), but are also active members of the regional industrial clusters, such as ACICAE (automotive) or GAIA (telecommunication). It can be said that both strategies have been of great success. The having of a global dimension is a requirement for most of the Mondragon co- operatives. Increasingly they are opening production plants abroad in countries and regions that have a similar series of challenges and opportunities1. As a result nearly all the Mondragon projects abroad are dealing with virtually the same series of problems: 1 For further detail see chapter 5 Jose Mari Luzarraga PhD Mondragon University - 2008 Mondragon Multi-localisation Strategy: Innovating a Human Centred Globalisation 384 branding and acquiring a new local customer base, lobbying local governments, workforce training, workforce turnover and employee loyalty, certification of suppliers and quality control, logistics management, and issues of isolation, dissatisfaction and motivation of expatriate employees.

This fresh visual identity, which aims to better represent Driven by these challenges, we have embarked on the what we are and what we consider we should be, is no reflection process that will lead us to the drawing up of a more than the symbol of our commitment to the shared new strategic plan. By 2011 we had made great progress project, which is IK4. in the quest for effective mechanisms to optimize the results of our collaboration within the framework of the This is the most visible change, but naturally it is not the Alliance. It is a fact that we, the IK4 centres, are in this most important one since it only sets out to symbolise together, but this means we can avail ourselves of the new era that has opened up in the IK4 Alliance. The more possibilities for improving, and for rendering a hallmark of this new era will be fixed in the Strategic Plan better service to society. The new strategic plan for the 2013-2016, which is currently being drawn up and which coming four years will be speaking about specialisation, is due to be completed in the course of this year.

    UNDERSTANDING MONDRAGON GLOBALIZATION PROCESS: LOCAL JOB CREATION THROUGH MULTI-LOCALIZATION Facing globalization threats to community stability Jose Mari Luzarraga Monasterio Mondragon Unibertsitatea jmluzarraga@eteo.mondragon.edu Dr. Dionisio Aranzadi Telleria Universidad de Deusto daranza@fice.deusto.es Dr. Iñazio Irizar Etxebarria Mondragon Unibertsitatea iirizar@eteo.mondragon.edu Abstract The stability of local communities is threatened by globalization and the international industrial migration process. This article explores Mondragon’s international multi- localization strategy as an effective strategy to avoid de-localization and defend parent cooperatives employment while creating new jobs in developing countries. At the end of 2006, the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation (here after MCC) located in the North of Spain, had 25 Globalized Cooperatives with 65 production plants abroad employing 14.601 people. Based on the Mondragon cooperatives activity between 1996-2006, this paper: - Measures the relationship of creating employment abroad and defending employment at home. - Analyses the impact that having production plants abroad has on the number of members vs. non members’ evolution in the parent cooperative and in the company as a whole. This research includes analysis from 40 production plants in China, India, Mexico, Brazil and Eastern Europe.

    The Evolution of Management in the Mondragon Cooperatives* * This paper was presented at the congress, Mapping Co-operative Studies in the New Millennium. Please contact the author for permission to reference or quote this paper. c.clamp@snhu.edu Christina A. Clamp Paper to be Presented at the Mapping Cooperative Studies in the New Millennium University of Victoria Victoria, British Columbia, Canada An International Congress Sponsored by The Research Committee of the International Cooperative Alliance And 1 The Canadian Association for the Study of Co-operation The Evolution of Management in the Mondragon Cooperatives Christina A. Clamp Southern New Hampshire University Manchester, NH USA Introduction The Mondragon Cooperative Corporation (MCC), a system of worker cooperatives located in the Basque country of Spain, is still considered to be one of the most significant models of worker ownership and community economic development, in the world. In the 1970’s, the pressing problems of plant closures with the shift from an industrial based economy to the global and information based system which now prevails led many of us to see Mondragon as a model that could truly address many of our economic challenges. The MCC’s goals of local control and ownership of resources coupled with a commitment to the cooperative principles resonated with the desire to create greater democracy in the workplace and better quality jobs that would not disappear when the corporation saw cheaper labor pools elsewhere. In the field of community economic development, where we have experienced the effects of global capital shifts and the uncertainties of federal funding, Mondragon stands out as a model that was developed without a reliance on subsidized funding and continues to be locally owned and controlled.

  • 2008 Annual Report
    2008 Annual Report Our Corporation is the embodiment of the co-operative movement that began in 1956, the year that witnessed the creation of the first industrial cooperative in Mondragón in the province of Gipuzkoa; its business philosophy is contained in its Corporate Values: • Co-operation. • Participation. • Social Responsibility. • Innovation.
