The cooperative bank has become the first
British company ever to be chosen as the most
socially responsible business on earth. The bank
has taken the Special Judges Award for Overall
Corporate Social Responsibility Performance at
the Corporate Conscience Awards in New York in
October 2002. This award was presented in part
for the bank being a 'Great Workplace' in terms
of staff development, performance management and
reward and our approach to equality and
diversity issues.
