consumer and worker cooperative grocer
Weaver Street Market
Industry Food
A consumer-and-worker cooperative grocer selling food and household staples, with multi-stakeholder governance and community retail accountability. Weaver Street Market scores well because ownership is comparatively aligned and governance has stronger accountability than peers, though toxic or materially harmful products still limit the evaluation.
Why this matters: Multi-stakeholder co-ops are central test cases for the governance axis.

Penalties
| Penalty | Applied | Why this penalty |
|---|---|---|
High-Carbon Products
?
Core products, services, financing, or supply chains that materially
depend on fossil-fuel combustion, high-emissions transport, industrial
animal agriculture, meat, dairy, or other unusually carbon-intensive
activity. This is scored separately from general ecological harm so
ordinary consumers can see carbon-intensive product exposure directly.
Range: -10 to 0.
|
-2 |
The company sells mixed grocery, restaurant, or packaged-food products where meat, dairy, refrigerated logistics, or high-carbon ingredients are material but not necessarily the entire business model. Linked evidence
|
Toxic Products
?
Current sale of products whose ordinary use, exposure, ingredients,
residues, packaging, or formulation creates toxic, addictive, or
consumer-safety risk. Food products receive at least light scrutiny for
artificial colors, artificial flavors, petro-derived additives,
pesticide residues, contaminants, endocrine-disrupting packaging, and
ultra-processed formulation. Ordinary adult nightlife or alcohol service
is not penalized by itself without evidence of predatory marketing,
youth targeting, addiction-extractive design, or unusual product-safety
misconduct. Range: -5 to 0.
