@Axelisys @coopuk .@CoopUK have been among the most prolific funders of toxic media that we've seen, despite the overwhelming vote for Responsible Advertising at the 2018 AGM. Coop claim to want to be "anti-racist in all we do" but their advertising tells a different story. blog.coop.co.uk/2020/09/24/our…
@Axelisys @coopuk Our volunteers haven't reported any Coop ads on GB News this week, but based on their public statements we expect @CoopUK to be advertising again on GB News soon, notwithstanding this issue: newsweek.com/trump-russia-j…
@Axelisys @coopuk More background here on the 2018 Coop AGM vote on Responsible Advertising, which passed with 96% of the vote: stopfundinghate.info/2018/05/25/96-…
@Axelisys @coopuk And a more recent update here in Ethical Consumer about the actions of the Coop Board and Management following that 2018 AGM vote. Unfortunately @CoopUK chose not to respond when approached for comment on this issue by @EC_magazine: ethicalconsumer.org/retailers/gb-n…
@Axelisys @coopuk @EC_magazine By contrast, other cooperatively-run companies independent of @CoopUK - such as @CooperativeBank - have made it clear that they are now taking ethical factors - and company values - into account when deciding where to advertise, as are many leading brands.
