The Co-operators Group Limited is one of Canada's leading multi-line insurance and financial services co-operatives. Founded in 1945 and owned by 46 member organizations -- including credit union centrals, co-operatives, and farm organizations -- the company operates more than 600 locations across Canada. Co-operators provides auto, home, life, farm, travel, and commercial insurance alongside wealth management and institutional asset management services.

Co-operators is distinguished by its co-operative ownership model and longstanding commitment to sustainability and community involvement. In 2024, the company announced a USD 3 billion climate solutions investment target by 2030, reflecting its values-based approach to capital management.

In 2023, Co-operators launched Duuo, a dedicated embedded insurance division offering API-first insurance products.
