These policies crafted by the Board of Directors are,
along with the Cooperative values and principles,
the concepts and beliefs that guide our Cooperative’s
activities.
Global Ends
A thriving member owned
cooperative that results in an
increasing number of people
having and making more
informed and sustainable
choices at costs that do not
exceed the revenues of the
cooperative.
1. Growth of Business:
Business growth that benefits
the community at large, based on community
needs, financial viability, cooperative principles,
and environmental stewardship.
2. Community: Within cooperative values, an everwidening
circle of community members with
healthier and more environmentally restorative
lives.
3. Products: A selection of least harmful, quality
food and products that is responsive to shoppers
and producers.
4. Financial Health: A transparent and
ethical enterprise, with equity growth,
patronage refund and community
investment.
5. Education: A community increasingly
informed regarding the cooperative
model as well as producer/consumer
impacts on local and global health and
environment.
6. Staff Environment: A respectful and
responsive work environment in which
a fairly compensated staff has a strong sense of
ownership in the success of the Co-op.
7. Services: Service relationships with fairness
and value for all.
