Social Responsibility

Being a co-operative business means acting ethically and responsibly in everything we do. There are many ways in which we do this, from supporting fair trade to using green energy, from supporting local suppliers to returning our profits to the communities we serve.

• Reducing our impact on the Environment
• Supporting our communities in a sustainable way 
• Managing our supply chain to develop ethical trade
• Embracing diversity and recognizing the benefit this brings  Offering training and development opportunities to all our colleagues through our ‘Opportunities for all’ programme
• Providing a safe and secure workplace for our colleagues
• Raising awareness of social responsibility amongst colleagues, customers and members
• Working with our members and colleagues to develop our social responsibility practices
• Setting social responsibility targets and reviewing our performance
• Reporting openly on our social responsibility progress

• Social Responsibility is the way we reflect our responsibilities to the wider community in the way we conduct our business.
