Introduction
“We work hard to make sure that we are a positive influence on the community both in terms of providing jobs and supporting the local economy, providing support for community projects and limiting any environmental impact we have as a business.
Each of our stores plays an important role in its local community – that is where our customers, colleagues and suppliers live and where our reputation is made or lost.
Our community activity focuses on areas that matter most to our customers and colleagues – food, family, health and children, with a particular emphasis on promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles.
We are committed to backing that activity financially. Last year we invested a total of £18 million in community initiatives, as well as raising more than £12.2m from charity fundraising in our stores across the UK.”
