The Co-operative supports a certain number of values related to the protection of the environment, and has driven several initiatives that tackle Climate Change, as such as installing and promoting micro-wind turbines, solar and photovoltaic panels , but also the building of a large in-office waste recycling centre. This company also has over 4,000 branches powered by renewable energy, and has established regular reporting on its businesses energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Through the Fairtrade Towns initiative, the city of Newcastle developped a Fairtrade policy, committing itself to promote awareness of Faitrade, to allocate staff responsibility for Fairtrade to ensure continued commitment and to work energetically to explore the scope for procuring Fairtrade products. For these purposes, the city of Newcastle includes several goals as ensuring a range of Fairtrade products are readily available in the city, producing a local Fairtrade directory, encouraging local businesses and organisations to use Fairtrade products or holding special events in Fairtrade Fortnight and for young people.
- Marks & Spencer's Fairtrade policy covers different areas: Eco-friendly deliveries, Responsible products, Sustainable sourcing, Packaging, Energy, Water, Waste, Refrigeration and Transport. The aim of this policy is to reduce the impacts on the environment of the company's operations, production and use of the products, through permanent research and action.
