2015: Ban all Bisphenoles in Coop private labels

Coop brands “Änglamark” cans free from all BPA and other Bisphenoles.

All cans and glasses BPA-free (more than 115 products). - Tetra Pack is the safe solutions (but not easy to sell)

No cashier paper containing Bisphenoles.

All baby bottles in private label BPA free

March 2010

April 2019: Vores vision er, at ingen varer i fremtiden indeholder rester af sprøjtegift

Vi starter med:

• Halvering af myndighedernes grænseværdier

• Forbud mod de 37 farligste pesticider

• Maksimalt rester af 5 forskellige pesticider i den enkelte vare

• Ekstra tryk på oplysning til kunderne

• Tæt samarbejde med leverandørerne

Is retailers the new regulators?Maybe….

• Because retailers and brand owners should/could be the new NGO´s??

• As being a frontrunner we supports a development in the right direction

• Show good business cases

• We can move fast with our own brands (+4000 products)

• Communication to our consumers and involving them is very important!

Is retailers the new regulators?

- We should be!

• The strategy of the UN Global Compact is to drive business awareness and action in support of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030

• Leading star for all – circular economy.

Thank you!
