Our Values

Do the Right Thing

This Value reminds us of where we've come from and why we're here. It celebrates and helps us to build upon our unique past and gives us authority to put doing the right thing first.

We'll make decisions that help save our planet, and work hard to show we can be trusted to do the right thing for the wider community. We're fair, trustworthy, honest and open and behave in an ethical way. We care for colleagues, our customers, members, suppliers and communities.

Our Values

Unstoppable

This Value unleashes our potential, to lead change in a way that's exciting. We embrace change, challenge norms and have the courage, and permission, to try and fail and learn from our mistakes.

We're courageous, determined and resilient. We welcome change and believe that speaking up is important in helping us to improve. We try new things, even if it means not getting it right first time.

Our Values

Stronger Together

By harnessing the talents and energy of our co-op and the communities around us, we can make a greater impact and enjoy the benefits of being a co-operative.

We create a positive working environment through building good relationships with others. We work as one team wherever we work in our co-op and celebrate our differences.

Our Values

A Place for People to Grow

It's important that we help every one of our colleagues to expand their knowledge, skills and experience, to help achieve their full potential. We want our colleagues to be excited to continuously learn, share new ideas and be rewarded to their effort and positive impact.

We're open to learning new things every day. We support each other to grow and strive to be the best we can be, personally and professionally.

Our Values

Respect for the Individual

This Value recognises the importance of respecting individuality. The world's strongest companies anchor into a strong culture, and a culture is made by its colleagues. This Value promotes the importance of different perspectives and meaningful conversations.

Through effective communication we learn about each other. We respect individuality and differences.
