Tesco’s 2024 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Annual Report outlines its ongoing efforts to create an inclusive workplace that mirrors the diversity of its employees, customers, and communities. This year’s report highlights significant progress in fostering an equitable and welcoming environment, aligned with Tesco’s commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility.
The report details Tesco’s shift from “Diversity and Inclusion” to “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” recognising that equity is vital for addressing systemic imbalances and ensuring fair treatment for all. Key initiatives include targeted support for underrepresented groups, enhancing workplace accessibility, and implementing policies to promote fairness and inclusion at every organisational level.
Achievements celebrated in the report include employee survey results that show 86% of staff feel they can be themselves at work without fear of judgment, and 84% believe Tesco is becoming an inclusive workplace. Additionally, the company prioritised leadership development for women and other minority groups, reflecting a strong focus on equitable representation in senior roles. Tesco also continues to address gender pay gaps and supports flexible work arrangements to enhance work-life balance.
A notable emphasis is placed on employee engagement and transparency, demonstrated through anonymous surveys that guide decision-making and identify areas for improvement. Tesco shares personal stories of employees to humanise its efforts and illustrate the real-world impact of its policies.
Looking ahead, Tesco plans to build on this foundation by strengthening partnerships, refining its DE&I strategies, and maintaining its status as a top employer in fostering diversity and inclusion. This forward-thinking approach reaffirms Tesco’s vision of making every day better for everyone—employees, customers, and communities alike.
