Annotation: The modern consumer cooperation system in Russia has a well-developed network of shops, warehouses, supply points and manufacturing enterprises, which are interconnected on the basis of cooperative legislation. The main link in a cooperative is a shareholder, a member of a cooperative society that is based on the principles of honesty, respect and openness of cooperative busi- ness. The cooperation system is focused on benevolence, humanity of society, creativity in work, justice, and of course, innovation and social development. Consumer cooperation pays great attention to the development of social infrastructure in rural areas, ensur- ing food security of the rural population. Members of consumer cooperatives apply environmental technologies in the production of food. The article examines the conceptual model of the transition of cooperation to a green economy, which is relevant in the light of the promotion of the strategy of green growth in Russia. Green growth means stimulating economic growth and development while preserving natural resources and continuously providing them with resources and ecosystem services on which our well-be- ing depends. For the development of consumer cooperation, most of which is represented in rural areas, it is important to preserve ecology, but at the same time, the lack of technological capabil- ities sometimes prevents the full achievement of environmental sustainability. Therefore, in order to implement the concept of green growth in cooperatives, it is necessary to introduce the GRI sustainable development reporting system, which will positively affect the development of consumer cooperation through a struc- tured approach to assessing the impact of cooperatives on society and the environment. The application of these standards will not only increase transparency and social responsibility of coopera- tives, but also strengthen their market position, making them more attractive to consumers looking for responsible and sustainable consumption options.
