Their mission

At Coles Group, we’re all about our ‘why’ – our purpose – to sustainably feed all Australians to help them live healthier, happier lives. And in these current times, this has never been more important. Coles Group is one of Australia’s largest and most iconic retailers, with more than 2,400 outlets across our portfolio of Australian supermarkets, liquor and convenience stores. We have a proud history starting in 1914 when G.J. Coles opened our first store in Collingwood, Victoria. Today we have 120,000 team members who are making a difference, processing more than 21 million customer transactions each week, providing our customers with products from thousands of farmers and suppliers. We look ahead, energise each other and deliver with pride. These are the behaviours we exhibit when we’re at our best. Our team members are a diverse bunch and we authentically celebrate this at Coles Group - because a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture drives innovation, diversity of thought, new ideas and a better work environment for everyone. We have an important role to play in creating jobs, supporting our suppliers and making a positive difference in our Australian local communities. We provide a range of fresh food, groceries, general merchandise, liquor, and financial services. Our strategy is focused on changing at pace, efficiency and innovation, and we’re committed to having a positive impact on the lives of all Australians, now and into the future.
