What we’ve been doing
This section of the report details the work we have undertaken in 2007/08 to meet our corporate responsibility aims and published objectives.
Home Retail Group aims to:
- Actively seek ways to minimise our impact on the environment in the way we do business
- Help our customers be responsible consumers by giving them information and choices
- Behave ethically and with integrity when sourcing products and dealing with our suppliers
- Be a good employer by providing a safe and healthy environment, enabling colleagues to act responsibly in their jobs and develop rewarding careers
- Support the local and national communities in which we operate.
"We recognise that doing things right takes time, energy and resources and that the choices are not always easy. We tackle the issues methodically, proposing solutions and making changes once we believe they will work and backed by practical plans and budgets."
Terry Duddy, Chief Executive
