Social & Environmental Policy
How we go about business is very important to us. We invest in our people, our offer and customer relationship and experience, aiming to be a well-run company that grows and thrives; and contributes to prosperity over the long term.
Sustainability makes sense environmentally, socially and in our business. By 'doing the right thing' we can help protect and nurture the valuable resources on which we all depend, making our business more efficient and effective, whilst also recognising the opportunity to meet the growing demand for sustainable products and services.
In line with our objectives and our vision for the future, we are reducing our Carbon Footprint, saving energy and increasing our transport efficiency; preventing waste and recycling more. We are also continuing to invest in more local and sustainable food sourcing and enabling our customers to eat healthily, whilst ensuring a wide choice of quality, fresh affordable foods.
Combating climate change is a huge task, which we must all embrace. We recognise that we have both a responsibility and an opportunity to be part of the solution. In doing our bit to address this unique challenge, we also involve our customers and our suppliers and support them as they try to do their bit too. We do not claim to have all the answers. There is a lot of hard work to be done and some changes may take some time but through positive engagement and by taking good care in all we do, we are determined to make a real difference and be a force for good, creative value for all our stakeholders.
