CAMIF Launches Informational Site at www.camif.coop

On 4 April 2005, the French cooperative CAMIF, the third most important distance selling company in France, launched its institutional information web site. The www.camif.coop site allows Internet users to get to know the company and members to participate in its development and evolution. Camif.coop will supplement the commercial site www.camif.fr which continues to provide access to the e-commerce facilities of CAMIF. The objective is to create a space dedicated to members, which will allow them to voice their opinions and participate in the life of the cooperative especially by voting online during future general assemblies. The web site will also provide the entire CAMIF group a way to promote awareness of the co-operative and knowledge of the various activities it supports. It will also provide a way to present and describe its involvement and concern for its members and their communities.

The web site presents the variety of activities supported by the CAMIF group. A series of headings explains CAMIF's organization, various businesses, and the activities and values it promotes. The member will also find all relevant information concerning the functioning of the cooperative. Members can access a dedicated part of the web site where all documents circulated for the General Assembly are provided. A contact box is reserved for members' questions and forums will be created to encourage dialogue with the cooperative on topics of interest to its members.

According to CAMIF's secretary general, "Camif.coop serves as a reminder of the adherence of the consumer cooperative to the world of the social economy, is a basis of our social values, and gives a more accurate picture of CAMIF in 2005."
