The Phone Co-op for your Ethical Business Phone Provider

Keeping your business connected


Whether you’re working in a large organisation with multiple offices or running your business from home, The Phone Co-op can keep you connected.

The Phone Co-op is not only the UK’s only telecommunications co-operative, it remains the only real option for anyone seeking a more ethical and environmentally responsible supplier of telephone calls, broadband, mobiles and line rental.

They supply and support voice and data services to more than 2,500 business customers, including a high proportion of non-for-profit and public sector organisations. Some of their well-known customers include Triodos Bank, Good Energy, Suma Wholefoods, Midcounties Co-operative and Unison.

Their line rental and mobile services are both rated a ‘Best Buy’ by Ethical Consumer magazine and their broadband service is also recommended. What’s more, the co-operative has been highly rated by customers for its standards of customer service.

The co-operative is owned and democratically controlled by its customers. With no outside investors, this means that everything they do is in the interests of their customers. Profits are either reinvested in the business, returned to customer-members via a dividend or used to support the development of new and expanding social enterprises.

What’s more, The Phone Co-op is committed to a programme of continuous improvement in minimising its environmental impact. For instance, over 80% of business travel is by public transport, they provide staff with bicycles, recycle, buy green electricity and have invested £27,500 in community renewable energy projects.

Indeed, if you’re involved in a new or expanding social enterprise, your organisation could benefit from The Phone Co-op’s Start Up & Expansion Fund in the form of a £250 credit on your telecoms costs.
