Boycott Policy

Our department managers and buyers make product decisions based on the values and standards outlined in our Product Statement. Occasionally there may be products or companies that a member-owner feels does not match our stated values. Erie Food Co-op strives to be transparent in our purchasing decisions and interested in the needs of our member-owners. For this reason we have a boycott policy in place to provide an avenue for member-owners to express their concerns, as well as steps for our department managers and buyers to consider these concerns.

For Member-Owners

The first step in the process is to fill out a product/company inquiry request with our Customer Service department. This form will serve as a request for our department managers to look into a specific company or product that may be in violation of our product statement. We will also request your contact information so that we can contact you with questions and/or resolutions.

For Department Managers

Once an inquiry request is received, the product will be reviewed against our product standards. If the product is in line with our stated values, an attempt should be made to ensure consumer choice is available (within reasonable cost and accommodation). In the case that a product does not meet our values, the product will be removed. We will strive to find a suitable resolution for the issue within 30 days of the receipt of complaint.
