In 2006 we had 1.5 million economically active members, making us the UK’s largest co-operative. Just £1 allows anyone to be part of The Co-operative, and each of our members has an equal right to a say in how the business is run and how we achieve our social goals.
Every year members receive a share of the profits that they helped to create. That is why in 2006 we returned some £19m of our profits to individual members.
In 2007 we had an annual turnover of £9.4bn and 87,000 employees serving around 10 million customers a week through food, healthcare, travel, funeral care and financial services.
The Co-operative Group has a responsibility to manage and develop its family of businesses in a sustainable way, and we have been offering good quality products and services at reasonable prices for well over 100 years. Ethical trading is what we are about.
