DEI Statement

The Eight Cooperative Principles that guide our daily work are deeply grounded in equity and inclusion, underscoring our commitment to a fair and just world. Principle One, “Voluntary, Open Ownership,” affirms our openness to all—embracing people of all genders, social backgrounds, races, political beliefs, and religions. This principle is a promise to break down barriers and create a truly welcoming space for everyone. Principle Seven, “Concern for the Community,” drives us to actively support the sustainable development of the communities we serve. Principle Eight, "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," is a guiding light, urging us to mirror the rich diversity of our community in our staff, customers, partners, and suppliers. By prioritizing equity and inclusion, we are building a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, contribute, and feel valued. Through these principles, we are creating a cooperative where every individual’s uniqueness enriches our collective success.
