Gender Pay

Our gender pay report

At Tesco, inclusion means that Everyone’s Welcome. Every colleague is treated fairly and with respect; by valuing difference we create a sense of belonging.

Tesco has always been a place where people can develop and ‘get on’ regardless of who they are. This can mean different things to different people, and we are committed to providing all of our colleagues with equal opportunities, skills and reward, whatever they want to achieve.

We have been monitoring our gender pay gap for a number of years, and were one of the first companies to voluntarily report our gender pay data in 2017.

Our latest gender pay report follows the methodology set by the UK Government and covers the period from April 2018 to April 2019 for Tesco UK Retail, Booker, Tesco Bank and dunnhumby. They measure the difference between men and women’s average pay within an organisation, regardless of their role or work level.

All four reports set out clear, positive and inclusive actions we are taking to help us reduce our gender pay gap across three core areas; supporting and attracting talented women; equipping and empowering our leaders; and sustaining an inclusive culture. Over the last year we have refined our diversity and inclusion strategy, brought more conscious inclusion to our recruitment practices and enhanced our diversity and inclusion training for senior leaders and all managers. As part of the 30% Club and Women in Finance Charter, we will improve gender balance in our most senior roles.

We remain committed to removing the gender pay gap at every level of our business.
