In March 2019 the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) found that Co-op had contravened the Groceries Supply Code of Practice in relation to delisting and variation of supply agreements without reasonable notice. They have sent a full apology to our suppliers following the findings and had already taken decisive steps during 2018 to ensure we treat suppliers fairly, including providing refunds to those wrongly impacted by the introduction of charges.
