Congratulations to Thunder Bay Co-operative Farm Supplies and Sunderland Co-operative for being recognized as two of five Top Performance Improvement achievers for the FS System in North America during GROWMARK's Annual Meeting in Chicago.
GROWMARK measures
the improvement in the performance of member co-operatives based on return on
invested capital. Over a five-year time frame, each co-operative's return on
invested capital improvement is measured in comparison to other co-operatives
in the System. From this measurement, the Performance Improvement Award was
developed.
