Apadmi and Co-op named Anthem Awards 2026 Finalists
Apadmi and Co-op have been named finalists at the 2026 Anthem Awards, recognising work that uses technology to make a real social impact.
Hot off the heels of a Lovies shortlist, the Co-op app has now been shortlisted in two categories: Technology: Product Innovation or Service and Belonging & Inclusion: Product Innovation or Service.
A loyalty card that became a reason to open the app every week
The Co-op app has been downloaded over 8 million times and now brings 1.4 million members back every week.
Co-op is owned by its members, and the app puts that membership in their pocket for complete convenience. Members choose a local cause to support, see how their community is benefiting, and can donate their balances to local causes in a couple of taps. Every shop becomes a small act of community giving, which has helped members raise millions for local charities and community causes.
We built it to work for everyone. A simple digital card, weekly personalised offers, access to Member Prices, and Apple and Google Wallet integration make it easy for members to save money and give back, wherever they shop.
Among the best social impact work in the world
The Anthem Awards are the mark of distinction for social impact excellence. As a finalist, our work is one of the highest-scoring projects out of 2,500+ entered from around the world.
Every finalist is in the running for a Gold, Silver or Bronze Anthem Award, chosen by the judges, and an Anthem Community Voice Award, chosen by the public.
