You commented, we acted. See our Ethical Policy in action.

The Co-operative Food Ethical Policy.

our business makes decisions based on its members

We are the pioneers and biggest supporter of Fairtrade.

In 2008, the worlds largest consumer poll on ethics – as answered by 100,000 of our members, set out the direction for our business.  The Food Ethical Policy has already led to a number of implemented policies and standards.
 

 

Animal Welfare

We are the largest retailer to sell exclusively free range eggs, and all our chicken is Elmwood – a higher welfare standard

Food Quality Diet And Health

We believe our customers should have access to high quality food that is produced and marketed in a way that they can trust.


Environment

All our toilet rolls are FSC accredited – meaning no trees are lost in their production.
