Cooperative principles play an essential role in the sustainability of multi purpose cooperatives, especially in emerging economies. Yet there is insufficient empirical evidence on how these principles affect economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This study evaluates MPCs' adherence to cooperative principles and their influence on economic, social, and environmental sustainability performance. Using a quantitative research design, a validated survey questionnaire was administered to 49 purposively selected cooperative members from a total of 56 individuals. The results showed strong agreement on voluntary and open membership, education and training, and concern for the community, with strengths in regulatory compliance, customer relations, and environmental issues. Still, certain types of renewable energy need to be adopted immediately as a better approach. Regression results showed similarities in voluntary membership and education, but variations in democratic control, economic participation, autonomy, cooperation, and concern for community, financial, and social sustainability. A Pearson correlation analysis showed a strong positive relationship between cooperative principles and sustainability outcomes. Therefore, adherence to cooperative principles would promote economic, social, and environmental sustainability for MPCs. However, variations in governance and environmental campaigns create areas that must be addressed to support sustainable development.
