Our approach
We want to help everyone who shops
with us enjoy a better quality of life
and an easier way of living.
We also want to help tackle wider social
and environmental challenges which
our customers care about and which
are material to our business, for example
making it easier for customers and
colleagues to live healthier lives;
reducing food waste and tackling food
poverty; and working with our suppliers
to source responsibly and sustainably.
While the last year has been challenging
for Tesco, we remain incredibly proud
of the efforts we have made to tackle
sustainability issues, support important
causes and help local communities.
As we begin the process of renewal
and change, we are committed to
listening to and working with our
customers, colleagues and stakeholders
from across society to ensure that we
align our approach to value creation
with their expectations.
Our reporting
As we reset many aspects of our business,
so we have changed our approach to
reporting. This report looks at our
business in the round and sets out
our strategic priorities; our corporate
responsibility is a fundamental part
of these. Instead of a separate, printed
corporate responsibility report, we
now publish further details on our
corporate responsibility, our policies
and our key data online. In addition
we are refreshing our approach to our
materiality assessment as we continue
listening to ensure we understand what
matters most to our customers, colleagues,
suppliers and stakeholders. All of this can
be found at www.tescoplc.com/society.
Our governance
Our new Chairman, John Allan,
has taken on the role of chair of our
Corporate Responsibility Committee
following the retirement of Jacqueline
Tammenoms Bakker from the Board.
More detail about the governance of this
Committee can be found on page 40.
We also work closely with our Expert
Advisory Panel, made up of four
independent corporate responsibility
advisors, who meet four times a year
to provide valuable input and act as
a critical voice to our activities. More
information on this can be found online
at www.tescoplc.com/ourpanel.
Wherever we work, we want to help make life
a little easier for our customers, colleagues
and communities.
