About Coop

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 the checkout at the exit. But Coop is different because we are owned by our 3.5 million members. This is what makes us unique. It also gives us an extra large responsibility, but also extra large opportunities.

Coop is one of Sweden's largest employers, and we are driven by the mission to give everyone access to good food. We are on an exciting journey of transformation to become the good force in food-Sweden. We aim to simplify everyday life and give 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, our chickens 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 to be the best in sustainable development, and now we are investing even more in spreading joy of food and more love for good ingredients.

Together we can and must become the good force in food-Sweden!

Coop values qualities such as an even age and gender distribution, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity that the organization brings.
