As one of the largest food retailers in the world, we recognize that we have to act in a responsible manner for the benefit of our millions of customers, our employees, our business and the good of our planet. We are committed to operating in a way that will improve the quality of life or our stakeholders, now and in the future. Our business impacts the lives of millions of people every day. We believe that making this impact a positive one is not just the right thing to do - it also makes good business sense.
Based on our observation of social trends, we have established four pillars for our Corporate Social Responsibility activities:
We have always viewed product safety as part of being a good corporate citizen; so we have also integrated it formally within CSR.
The well-being of our customers is critical to us. Our goal is to offer them an inspiring selection of quality products and services to make it easier to choose a healthier lifestyle.
We are building long-term relationships with suppliers who share our conviction that economic success should be balanced with social and environmental responsibility.
Wherever we operate, we are working to improve our ecological footprint and making our operations more efficient.
We build relationships with customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders by actively supporting the needs of communities in our market areas and beyond.
