Our workplace culture is guided by our purpose and values, and encourages true collaboration, so we can all do our best work for the Co-operative.
To achieve this, we require a safe, healthy, respectful and inclusive workplace – one that invites diverse perspectives so everyone feels they authentically belong.

Big on diversity for a stronger Co-operative.
In 2022 we were finalists in the Deloitte Top 200 for D&I Leadership.
In FY24, we met our target of 40% female representation in global senior leadership. Our 40:40:20 gender leadership goals refers to 40% female, 40% male, 20% of any gender, which introduces flexibility for female, male or non-binary genders.
We are updating our DEI ambition and plans to continue to strengthen our Co-operative for future generations.
