Gaztaroa-Sartu koop.

Gaztaroa-Sartu koop. is a worker cooperative and social-initiative organisation based in the Historical Territory of Bizkaia in the Basque Country, Spain. According to its official website, it has been operating since 1986 and describes itself as a "Cooperativa de trabajo asociado e iniciativa social" whose purpose is the promotion and development of activities and services aimed at achieving the full social inclusion of people and groups who need support for their inclusion. It presents itself as a quality service working with people and with a public-service vocation in Bizkaia. The organisation develops projects, services and activities whose objective is the social inclusion of the people it works with, within the fields of social inclusion and labour inclusion. It describes itself as a hinge between different systems, allowing people to move from one to another according to their needs and interests. While maintaining a private management dynamic, it defines itself as one more service within the general network of Social Services and Employment Services, to which it serves as a complement and support. Gaztaroa-Sartu reports that the people it works with are referred to it roughly 50% by base social services and the Basque Employment Service, 25% by other users, 15% by other associations, and 10% by training and employment entities and services. It situates itself within the social intervention sector of Bizkaia alongside other social entities. It participates in networks and foundations such as REAS (the network of alternative and solidarity economy), EAPN (the network against poverty and social exclusion), GIZATEA (association of insertion companies) and UNAD (union of associations for help with drug dependency). The cooperative's public identity is built around inclusion, public service and the social economy. Its website carries the slogan "Construyendo oportunidades" (Building opportunities) and the phrase "Trabajando para las personas" (Working for people), together with the statement "Por una sociedad inclusiva" (For an inclusive society), all dated "Desde 1986" (Since 1986). It also quotes Mario Benedetti: "La mariposa recordará por siempre que fue gusano" (The butterfly will always remember that it was a worm). As a worker cooperative, Gaztaroa-Sartu is privately managed and not listed on any stock exchange. Its activity is concentrated in Bizkaia, where it works within the social services and employment ecosystem. The organisation's dual identity — a cooperative enterprise on one hand and a social initiative on the other — places it in the social and solidarity economy, bridging public social services, employment services and the people who need support to achieve inclusion.
