Sustainability programme

Our mission is to produce benefits and services that generate well-being for our owners – in other words, our customers. However, well-being means much more than just economic well-being. As a major operator, we have a considerable impact on the present and on the legacy we leave for the future generations.   

Sustainability in the S Group

Co-operative XXX promotes S Group’s sustainability programme, which includes both long-term and short-term targets, and our programme extends to 2030. As a co-operative enterprise, our goal is to lead the way in sustainability in the industries in which we operate. To achieve this, we work together with our stakeholders, setting targets and engaging in open dialogue. We also want to offer our co-op members daily convenience in making responsible and sustainable choices.

Responsibility principles

  • Responsibility principles 

    S Group’s responsibility principles are based on S Group’s cooperative values: we are here for our customers, we take responsibility for people and the environment, we constantly renew our operations, and our operations generate results. The responsibility principles guide our operations in terms of the environment, society and business management. Check S Group’s responsibility principles. 

  • Ethics principles 

    Our daily operations must meet the expectations concerning ethics set for us by various stakeholders. Learn about our ethical practices and principles. See S Group’s ethics principles.

    We are committed to respecting all internationally recognised human rights and promoting them in our operations. We expect the same from our partners. See S Group’s human rights principles 

Our sustainability programme

  • Together we will make a better place to live

    Our sustainability work as a co-operative is guided by S Group’s sustainability programme and our values.  Our sustainability programme consists of three themes: promoting sustainable consumption together with our co-op members, promoting sustainable growth while respecting natural resources and taking steps towards an equal world – by removing inequality. 

  • Sustainable consumption

    Favour seasonal produce, reduce waste, support domestic products. We help our customers embrace a more sustainable everyday life through measures such as eating in a way that is smart for the wallet, health and the environment, sustainable consumption and less emissions from cars. 

  • Climate and natural resources

    Reducing our own emissions, make use of waste heat and co-operate with the entire chain. We know the climate and environmental impacts of our own operations and the products we sell, and work together with our partners to reduce them. 

  • An equal world

    A diverse work community, towards a sustainable supply chain. We take responsibility for people and work to ensure that our own and our partners’ employees are treated fairly, both at our locations and elsewhere in the world.
