Corporate Responsibility
The basis of good business
We believe that running a responsible business makes good business sense.
By reducing the impact we have on the environment and by supporting the communities in which we live and work, we engage with our customers and colleagues and enhance our reputation.
Our responsible business principles - summed up as 'the basis of good business' - are part of everything we do. They will play a key part in helping us in shaping the future of shopping.
We report our corporate responsibility performance and explain our strategic objectives and actions using five good business principles:
- Keeping clean and green: Reducing the impact our business has on the environment
- Shopping for tomorrow: Helping our customers live more sustainable lives
- Sourcing with care: Sourcing the best products, while minimising our social and environmental impacts
- Building a great place to work: Making this a business we're all proud to work for
- Being a good neighbour: Supporting the communities in which we live and work
