The more successful we are, the more value we create and the stronger our communities become.
Listening to our members
Our members shape and influence the way we run our business. We're creating new ways for our members to tell us what they think of Co-op products and services, stay in touch with each other and grow networks of co-operation.
In 2017, we held 20 'Shape your Community' events inviting members and others in the community to share their views.
