being co-operative
what being a co-operative means to its members

Being a member of The Co-operative doesn't just mean that you get a card and a share of our profits – it means that YOU OWN part of the business. No faceless institutional shareholders, but members like you.

You'll soon see that we are not like other businesses that are out to get as much profit for the shareholders as they can, but a business with morals, ethics and values that drives how we make and spend our profits. As a member, you are part of a very special family of businesses. If you want to get further involved in The Co-operative, then this could be the first step.
