Environmental Policy

The board of directors at the Co-op Food Stores established our seventh End statement to ensure that the Co-op operates in a sustainable way. End seven states that the Co-op will be a “thriving business that protects and restores the environment.” The Co-op Food Stores is committed to lessening our environmental impact and conserving natural resources through our operations. It is our policy to ensure we are offering sustainable product options on our shelves, educating members and customers on environmental issues, and decreasing the environmental impact of our stores through energy- efficiency and waste-reduction efforts.
