In every country in which we operate we work with local communities to provide jobs and services and support local causes. We are committed to being a good neighbour.
Our stores are at the heart of thousands of communities around the world. We always aim to make a positive contribution to these communities, both in the way we do business and by supporting local causes.
 We provide good jobs for 470,000 people |
Our success depends on listening and responding to customers and to changes in society. We respond to customers’ expectations by offering quality products at affordable prices. We provide good jobs and careers for 470,000 people, growing the local economies where they live. Small, regional producers supply a growing number of locally sourced products. |
We invest in many disadvantaged communities, opening stores which help to regenerate areas, and offering opportunities to the people who live there. In the UK alone, we have now created over 4,000 jobs for long-term unemployed people through our unique jobs guarantee programme.
We fund education programmes around the world, helping children learn about health and the environment, and donate equipment to schools.
More than 260 Tesco Community Champions in six countries are working in our stores specifically to support local charities and organisations.

developing countries could help Tesco gain a licence to
operate.”
