LGBTQ+ Network at Tesco

LGBTQ+ Network is one of the largest LGBTQ colleague networks in the UK with over 2000 members across the Tesco Group. We want to attract, support and develop our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex colleagues so that they feel confident to be themselves at work.

LGBTQ+ at Tesco supports colleagues so that they feel confident to be themselves at work – when you are your ‘best self’ at work, you perform at your greatest.

Our vision is to ensure everyone is welcome at Tesco, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, through education, support and celebration. We want to connect our members together in a safe environment and provide a place where they can seek advice and support confidentially on matters that are important to them.

We aim to become a Stonewall Top 100 employer for LGBTQ+ inclusion; known widely as a business where anyone can be themselves and where diversity is celebrated.

Tesco is a long standing supporter of Pride, standing alongside those who are equally as passionate about equality and diversity, and helping to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues and campaigns.

Providing a platform and a voice for our LGBTQ+ communities, Pride is an important date in the calendar for many of us. Last year we were proud to be headline sponsor for Pride in London – alongside our presence at other Pride events across the UK – and it provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate alongside our customers and colleagues.

For the last 5 years the LGBT+ AWARDS have aimed at shining a spotlight on our role models and those organisations who are working tirelessly to better the needs of LGBT+ people. We are extremely proud that Barry Davies head of Supply Chain – Tesco Ireland and Chair of Out At Tesco, sits on the panel as a judge representing Tesco.
