Good With Money

The good with money event allows all colleagues to explore the power of Our brand and what makes The Co-operative so unique. It is also an opportunity to reflect on what good with money means to you and what being a co-operative means to our members, customers and colleagues.

Throughout the good with money event we will be challenging you to make a commitment to how you can really add value to our brand, and how you can live the values that underpin it, ensuring that as a business we always offer value, fairness and social responsibility.

And in return, we'll make a commitment to you too. To make sure we live up to our end in terms of offering value, fairness and social responsibility and also, as a thank you for your attendance, we're protecting ten acres of rainforest for each good with money event.

Together, by being good with money, we can continue to make a difference To each other, our customers and the world around us.

The Co-operative Group is one of Cool Earth's leading partners and is already helping to protect over one a thousand acres of endangered tropical forest. The Good With Money commitment will make a big difference to the lives of local communities and security of the trees in the Cutivireni Project in Peru.

The Co-operative has secured 1,200 acres (500 hectares) of mature rainforest and has kept 312,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide where it belongs. This means the Co-operative's support is protecting around 57,200 mature trees, 240,000 saplings, 6 endangered species of mammal, 322 types of plant and over 11,000 species of insect and worm.

The sponsorship also includes purchasing classroom equipment, solar powered internet, and working alongside the Ashaninka people to ensure they are properly compensated for the long-term preservation of a critical ecosystem resource.
