Co-operative Group: 2025 Human-Rights Sourcing Policy

This page records specific public conduct. It does not claim knowledge of private beliefs or motives.

Documented record

• 2025-06-24: Co-op announced that it would stop sourcing from 17 states, including Israel and Iran, under a policy tied to recognized human-rights and international-law concerns. Source 1 Source 2

Context and response

This was not an Israel-only policy. The broader 17-country scope is material and is stated in both the summary and factual record.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Galil objects to including Israel in this sourcing ban. We also acknowledge that Co-op applied the announced policy to 16 other countries rather than singling out Israel alone.
