As the nation’s largest community-owned food market, we aren’t accountable to private investors or distant shareholders — we are accountable to you, and to our shared commitment to economic, social and environmental responsibility. We consider each of these topics in every decision we make. And because the Pacific Northwest has given us so much, we give back in everything we do.
We keep our shelves honest and our staff knowledgeable, and every product passes through the hands of our quality standards experts before it ends up in yours.
From energy and water conservation to LED light fixtures, the design of our stores reflects our deep commitment to sustainability.
We keep our priorities straight. People before profit, farms before factories. Our commitment lies with our community.
To inspire and advance the health and well-being of people, their communities and our planet.
We ensure that good food nourishes the communities we serve, while cultivating vibrant local, organic food systems.
We foster high standards.
We act with integrity.
We embrace stewardship.
We take action because we care.
PCC is committed to welcoming people of all identities, cultures and backgrounds. As a triple bottom line cooperative, our vision, mission and values stand firmly rooted in the nourishment and well-being of our planet, its people and communities. While racism and colonialism continue to play a significant role in shaping food systems, PCC is committed to cultivating justice-centered relationships that do not exploit. PCC does not tolerate bigoted behavior within our community. Accordingly, we take action to foster a safe and inclusive environment.
In 2016, we began publishing an annual Co-op Purpose Report to share with our members and shoppers the impact we’re having against our triple bottom line in our communities and beyond. We use data to measure progress against social and environmental goals, tell the stories of partners who enable us to do what we do and reiterate the values that don’t always show up in numbers, but are often the reasons why our members and shoppers choose PCC time and again.
