The Co-operative Group Promotes "Ethics in Action" Web Site

The Co-operative Group in the UK has launched a new web site that promotes getting customers and members involved in activities that The Co-operative supports. Visit http://www.co-operative.coop/ethicsinaction for more information on this innovative site. The Co-operative Group in the UK announced the new Ethics in Action section of The Co-operative Group's website, which launched on Thursday, November 25th. The major new development is the creation of a campaigning forum, Take Action, which will feature a new focus for activity every month.

<br><br>

The aim of Ethics in Action is to bring to life the positive work done by The Co-operative Group, with a more dynamic and exciting feel than before. All of the Group's key community and environmental programs are featured on the site.

<br><br>

The emphasis of Ethics in Action is on how customers and members can get involved with The Co-operative, from creating a walking bus, to pledging support for cruelty-free cleaning products. Links are built in to direct potential customers to relevant areas of Group and The Co-operative Financial Services sites; for example, to sign-up for a charity credit card. Several short films have been added to the site, and there are plans in place for further developments, such as news pages and blog-style updates.

<br><br>

In order to avoid a "static" site, The Group will be refreshing and updating the site regularly, with the aim that people will see something new and interesting every time they return to the site, and so keep coming back.

So take a look at http://www.co-operative.coop/ethicsinaction to see how one of the world's leading consumer co-operatives is working to get members and customers involved!
