Philipp Wyss, CEO of Coop, stated in a June 2021 video message that organic agriculture is a priority for him, particularly in Switzerland, and that Coop sources cocoa sustainably from Honduras and Ecuador. He described Coop's sustainability efforts as spanning over 30 years, citing a selection of around 400 initiatives, including the company's organic product range, which he claimed is the largest in Switzerland, and a program called Naturafarm that sources meat from Swiss grassland. Wyss also mentioned that Coop has reduced plastic use by over 1,000 tons since 2012, operates seven hydrogen-fueled trucks that cut CO2 emissions by about 500 tons per year, and promotes products from social workshops. Wyss emphasized that Coop aims to promote sustainable consumption and has set goals to achieve 2 billion Swiss francs in organic sales and over 5 billion francs in total sustainability sales. He noted that Coop is one of the largest trainers in the country, with 30,500 apprentices, and that the company has been recognized multiple times by Swiss animal protection as a leader. The video was part of a broader communication campaign highlighting Coop's sustainability commitments.
