and has the largest range of Fairtrade products in the UK. In 2014 its Fairtrade sales were £133M. During 2017, the Co-op became the first UK retailer to source all of the cocoa for their own label products on Fairtrade terms, a move which increased their volumes of Fairtrade cocoa fivefold. The Co-op's "Beyond Fairtrade" programme is run in addition to paying the standard 'Fairtrade Premium' payment. The programme has included working with many groups of smallholder farmers to establish democratic co-operative businesses to sell their product (to suppliers including the Co-op) and through the Co-op providing investment funding to enable the farming co-operatives who supply them to convert to Fairtrade certification. £475,000 in funding was provided between 2012 and 2014 for this programme. The business has also been involved in developing certification schemes for additional Fairtrade products (in association with the Fairtrade Foundation and Traidcraft) including wine (2001), rubber gloves (2014), coffins (2012) and charcoal (2009). Renewable energy and energy saving measures Since 2005, 98% of The Co-op's electricity has been sourced through renewable sources, notably wind power, hydro and anaerobic digestion. By 2014, 12.3% of the business's total energy use was being sourced from renewable sources. The business has also constructed its own renewable energy generation facilities, operating three wind farms with a fourth given planning permission in 2014. When the fourth wind farm is complete, it is expected that The Co-operative Group will generate almost 25% of its own electricity consumption. In 2016 the co-op sold ownership of a wind farm, providing a financial return for the co-op. When combined with improvements in its supply chain, notably a reduction in fuel used in its vehicle fleet, and the fitting of doors to its store refrigerators (a measure which reduces their energy consumption by 40%) this led to a 40% reduction in its carbon emissions between 2006 and 2015. The Co-op also buys renewable energy from community energy projects including Torrs Hydro and Settle Hydro. For domestic and private consumers, The Co-operative Group sells energy-saving light bulbs in stores, while Midcounties Co-operative's Co-op Energy division provides a Co-operative Energy Saving Service, including online sales of LED light bulbs (which are around 80% more efficient than fluorescent Low Energy Bulbs, which themselves are 80% more efficient than the old standard incandescent light bulbs).
