Coop is unique! It is easy to think that all grocery stores are the same. The same products on the shelves, the same shopping carts, and then the checkout at the exit. But Coop is different because we are owned by our 3.5 million members. That is what makes us unique. It also gives us a greater responsibility, but also greater opportunities.

Coop is one of Sweden's largest employers, and we are driven by the mission to provide everyone access to good food. We are on an exciting journey of change towards being the positive force in food Sweden. We aim to simplify everyday life and provide everyone access to good ingredients – something that is good for both body, soul, and our environment.

Coop has long been at the forefront and realized the importance of ecological thinking. Our fish is certified, the hens are free-range, and our own brand Änglamark has been named Sweden's Greenest Brand - but our journey does not end there.

Together with our employees, we work every day with our customers to continue being the best in sustainable development, and now we are investing even more in spreading joy in food and more love for good ingredients.

Together we can and will be the positive force in food Sweden!

Coop values qualities such as a balanced age and gender distribution as well as ethnic and cultural diversity that contribute to the business.
