Seward Co-op has realized tremendous growth in recent years. The Seward Co-op Scorecard represents efforts by management and staff at the co-op to measure how well we are growing on purpose. The Scorecard was developed in 2006 by dozens of Seward Co-op employees who defined our commitments and identified symbolic data points that we could use to demonstrate our progress towards accomplishing the Ends Statement, or mission of co-op. The scorecard is designed to be dynamic. The management and staff will implement future commitments and measures based on our results. Fiscal year 2008 marks the second year of measurement and shows progress in many areas that are detailed in this report. Seward Co-op exemplifies cooperative principles and practices that contribute to the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the communities we serve. Our communities include the Seward workplace (staff and their families and partners), our neighborhoods (members, customers and neighbors), local relationships (farmers and vendors in the five-state area), the global community and other co-ops’ employees. We measure our success by how well we live up to these commitments:

• We cultivate a diverse, respectful and caring workplace.
• We operate with intentional respect for the environment.
• We commit to financial goals that allow us to maximize our profits in the support of our mission, our values and our community.
• We actively support, participate and invest in the communities we serve.
