Abstract

We propound that effective knowledge capture, sharing, and utilization within cooperatives are potent catalysts for sustainable practices. Through collaborative knowledge creation, cooperatives can innovate solutions to environmental challenges, efficiently manage resources, and foster social equity. Conversely, a sustainable environment and empowered communities provide fertile ground for knowledge production and circulation within cooperatives, creating a virtuous cycle of shared prosperity. Understanding and harnessing this symbiotic relationship between knowledge management and cooperative sustainability is critical to building a resilient and thriving future for all. 72 articles were identified, and 6 out of 72 were ultimately chosen for the analysis process. This systematic literature review aims to determine the current evidence regarding the knowledge management practice contribution towards cooperative sustainability.
