The ongoing change brings many challenges but also opportunities. And you are never alone. If there is something we are particularly proud of, it is our employees. By successfully recruiting many competent staff members, we work together towards the future.
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 4 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, driven by the mission to provide everyone access to good food. We are on an exciting journey of transformation to be a positive force in food Sweden. We aim to simplify everyday life and provide everyone access to quality ingredients – something that is good for both body, soul, and our environment.
Coop has long been at the forefront, realizing the importance of ecological thinking. Our fish is certified, our 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 alongside 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 quality ingredients.
Together, we can and will be the positive force in food Sweden!
We value the qualities that a balanced age and gender distribution, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, bring to our operations.
