• Our priorities

• Trying to make sure everyone is welcome at Tesco and that Tesco is a great place to work

• Helping customers to make healthy choices and encouraging people to get active

• Supporting the causes that are close to the hearts of our staff and customers

“The job of a retailer is to provide quality, value and choice. They also provide value to society through economic growth and the associated long-term improvements in health, living standards and longevity.

Businesses do not exist in a vacuum. They benefit from stable communities, well-motivated staff and well-served customers. Both staff and customers should be representative of communities across generations, races and other aspects. Retailers face challenges in achieving diversity and enabling staff to build working lives and pension entitlements, whatever their age.

Any business with a long-term view knows that it is worth investing in people, the communities and the environment. Social capital is good for business; big business in particular has a financial interest as well as a social duty in building secure, happy and cohesive communities.

As Tesco reaches into smaller communities, there are new opportunities for greater roles, for instance in offering one stop services for communities and older people where small convenience stores can be a lifeline and a community centre.”
