Coop and its stakeholders

As well as our employees, our stakeholders in upstream and downstream stages of the value chain are vital to our success and the implementation of our sustainability strategy. With this in mind, we hold a regular Coop Stakeholder Forum, which allows direct and in-depth dialogue with representatives of our five key stakeholder groups. It is an opportunity to take stock of what stakeholders expect and want of us and incorporate these in our targets and measures. The insights gained from dialogue with our stakeholders are reflected in our Materiality Analysis.

Our stakeholder engagement

As well as our employees, our stakeholders in upstream and downstream stages of the value chain are vital to our success and the implementation of our sustainability strategy.

With this in mind, we hold a regular Coop Stakeholder Forum, which allows direct and in-depth dialogue with representatives of our five key stakeholder groups. It is an opportunity to take stock of what stakeholders expect and want of us and incorporate these in our targets and measures. The insights gained from dialogue with our stakeholders are reflected in our Materiality Analysis.

At the Coop Stakeholder Forum in 2021, we evaluated together our new sustainability strategy as well as the multi-year targets 2022-2026. We will include the proposals for measures in the individual topics in our planning and provide transparent information about our decisions and resolutions at the next stakeholder forum in November 2022.

For 2022, our next Business Partner Conference is planned, the aim of which is drive forward sustainable innovations with our business partners.

Our manufacturing companies and the Transgourmet Group are also in constant dialogue with public bodies, associations and organizations as well as employees, customers and suppliers.
