Core Purpose and Values

Tesco employees


‘We make what matters better, together’

The World has changed and we have to change to reflect this. It used to be the case that more was better but now it’s about making what matters better. Our Core Purpose and Values describe not just what we do but also how we do it. We want to make a positive and lasting difference for our customers, colleagues and the communities we serve. Our Core Purpose, we make what matters better, together, allows us to deliver this.

Our Values are at the heart of our business. Whether you work in India or Ireland, Thailand or Turkey they help ensure that every person at Tesco understands what is important – about how we work together as a team and how customers are at the centre of what we do. Our Values guide us to change for the better and to change in better ways. Our Values are:

  • No one tries harder for customers
  • We treat everyone how we like to be treated
  • We use our scale for good

These aren’t gimmicks, they aren’t just words, they’re fundamental to how we do business.
