Havas presents the commitment of Coop

Havas Worldwide Zurich is the new advertising agency for Coop's sustainable commitment. After intensive collaboration, the agency is now presenting the retailer's new communications presence.

The motto of Coop's entire sustainability communication is "deeds not words". Coop has been committed to a sustainable product range, animal welfare, environmental protection and social issues for more than 25 years. The more than 250 sustainable deeds were numbered and collected on the online platform taten-statt-worte.ch, for whose interactive conception, implementation and content Goldbach Interactive and YJOO Communications are responsible. This "Tatenbank" forms the heart of sustainability communication and not only provides an overview of Coop's commitment, but also makes the individual measures tangible through facts and figures as well as multimedia content such as images and videos. The website is constantly being expanded, because new actions are being added all the time. And it is supplemented by the "Principles and Issues" section, which provides in-depth background information for interested parties, and the "News and Future" news stream.

Actions instead of words in Coop newspaper, on posters, print subjects and in TV commercials

The deeds for people, animals and nature can not only be discovered online, but the Coop newspaper also reports weekly on new measures in the section "Deeds instead of words". In addition, the deeds play a central role on the poster and print subjects as well as the TV commercials. Whether it's about sustainable fishing, fair and organically produced clothing, exercise for animals, Ünique vegetables or Fairtrade, the five TV commercials tell short stories about Coop's commitment to sustainability. In each case, the focus is on people, such as the inhabitants of a fishing village or children playing while shopping. The honest and light-hearted approach to fundamentally serious topics makes some of the most remarkable deeds emotionally accessible in this way.

Printsubjects

The nine print subjects also pick up on lesser-known deeds in words and images. They address both general commitments, such as animal-friendly attitudes, and concrete actions, such as Coop offering only fresh pineapples from fair trade. The pictures are taken from life and show Coop's commitment in all its facets in a light-hearted and unpretentious way. The round image section is reminiscent of the shape of the earth and brings the deeds visually into focus.

POS measures and online banners

TV commercials, posters, and print subjects will be flanked by various POS measures and online banners. The long-term measures will be seen for the first time throughout Switzerland from mid-February 2015.
