business operations and in their communication with their stakeholders, which includes a wide range of
activities e.g. working with the local communities with health and safety, conducting business in an
ethical way and in the interests of wide community and being a good citizen in the community. These is
four main components of CSR which are economic, legal, ethical and volunteering.
Tesco is one of the biggest supermarkets in the world, where it has around 3,500 stores worldwide. For
it having the largest market shares in the UK with 27.4% in 2018. Having CRS policy integrated into the
company allows it to have the chance to attract more media attention whereby it gives Tesco the chance
to have a positive image to the consumer which will increase brand awareness and recognition. This
help the company to protect and enhance their reputations with the broader public as well as key
stakeholders. The reason why Tesco has been successful is that they are often better-resourced and
more able to invest in CSR unlike smaller company.
The first part of Tesco CRS policy that their release in 2016, which lays out a plan for the next 10 years
on its social corporate responsibility commitments, whereby it has 4 department i.e. food waste,
environment, health and business ethics & anti-bribery
The first CRS department is food waste whereby its main aim is that Tesco should a reasonability of
ensuring that no food that is safe for Human Consumption should not go to waste. Tesco have it two
ways in order to achieve the objective i.e. giving food to charity, helping customers understand and the
supply chain.
The way that Tesco will be reducing food wasting is by having a mobile phone app for charity whereby
local store can communicate with nearby charities and alert them to the amount of food that the store
has at the end of each day. Whereby the charity can send someone to picks it up free of charge and
turns it into meals for people in need. This has been successful whereby the program has expanded to
280 stores globally i.e. UK, central Europe and Malaysia. The second way that Tesco will be reducing
food wasting is by having their farms use the edible crop as much as possible because it has produces
1.7 million tonnes of waste from manufacturing and agriculture. For example, Tesco has support it
potato supplier e.g. Branston, to supply one of its own-brand manufacturers, Samworths, with unsold
potatoes for mashed potato products – increasing crop usage and reducing waste.
Another Tesco CRS department is health whereby Tesco targets to cutter down the levels of sugar in
fizzy drinks by at least 5% each year, making fruit and veg more afforded for low-income families so that
there could provide it for the children and raise money for local and national charity e.g. the British
Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK.
