I’m pleased to announce that we’re set to make a significant advancement in how Co-op procures renewable energy by installing solar panels on a target of up to 700 sites across our food, funeralcare and logistic portfolio over the next three years. This project not only highlights Co-op’s commitment to become Net Zero across its own operations by 2035, but also establishes a benchmark for environmental responsibility within the retail sector. I’m proud to lead a team that’s committed to making a tangible difference for our planet. #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #SolarPowerhttps://lnkd.in/eBbtapqa

Join us in celebrating 30 years of #Fairtrade this #FairtradeFortnight! 30 years of Fairtrade sales across the world have meant billions in Fairtrade Premium payments to producers. That means more power in the hands of the farmers, driving real change in their communities. Fairtrade is more than a label, it’s a movement for trade justice that works with businesses, consumers, campaigners and producers to make trade work for everyone. We’re proud our Co-op’s member owners have been helping us pioneer Fairtrade in UK retail since the beginning. Today, Co-op are the largest convenience retailer in the world for Fairtrade products, the largest Fairtrade wine seller in the world, and our sourcing reaches around half a million farmers and workers across 27 countries. What you put in your shopping basket matters. At Co-op it’s easy to make the switch to Fairtrade. 100% of our own-brand tea, coffee, bananas, cocoa, bagged sugar and roses are Fairtrade. All the cocoa used as an ingredient in any own-brand Co-op product is sourced on Fairtrade terms, and where bananas, tea and coffee are used as an ingredient, we also make sure Fairtrade producers benefit. We’re also the world’s largest seller of Fairtrade wine! #BetheChange and #ChooseFairtradeHere are some of my favourite co-op fair trade products. Try them out (or many of the other fair trade products available at our co-op) and let us know what you think. And don’t forget to swipe your membership card at the till to enjoy the amazing member prices. Adele Balmforth (she/her) Cathryn Higgs Emily Pearce Matt Hood Sinead Bell Shirine Khoury-Haq
