SCCCU is divided into groups of households who order food collectively and offers only 3,000 products, and mostly staple foods. As the co-operative federation is concerned with food safety, it buys organic food and shuns those generated from genetically modified organisms.[1] SCCCU also produces its own milk and biodegradable soap.[2]

In 1979, SCCCU started running candidates for political office through the Tokyo Seikatsusha Network and now has over 100 members who serve as local councillors.

The federation received a Right Livelihood Award in 1989 "for creating the most successful, sustainable model of production and consumption in the industrialised world."[3]
