sustainability report
Altogether different and making a difference
The Co-operative Group Sustainability Report 2008/2009 presents a 'warts and all' look at The Group, focusing on the social, ethical and environmental issues that are most material to the business and its stakeholders.
Leading environmentalist Jonathan Porritt, Founder Director of Forum for the Future, who provides commentary on the Report, writes: "At a time when mainstream economic and political models have been shown in all their dysfunctional and often immoral inadequacy, the world needs the energy of co-operation more than ever."
And assurance providers, Two Tomorrows, comment, "In many respects, The Co-operative Group Sustainability Report demonstrates best practice and international leadership."
The Report has been assured against AA1000AS and is consistent with a GRI G3 application level of A+.
