Race & Ethnicity at Tesco

We are committed to supporting our all our ethnic minority colleagues and we were proud to have entered the award arena for the first time; achieving top 10 at the Ethnicity Awards in the ERG/Network category.

The Race & Ethnicity at Tesco network aims to make a difference by raising awareness of diversity, culture and inclusion within Tesco, helping Tesco to serve customers from all backgrounds and communities a little better every day. The network’s vision is to connect colleagues from all ethnicities to develop their careers and ensure Tesco is recognised as a great place to work.

In the last year the Race & Ethnicity at Tesco network contributed unique knowledge and experience to support the development of new colleague resources to help raise awareness of the BLM movement; including how to have great conversations guide, D&I glossary, how to be an ally guide.

In 2019 we signed up to the Race at Work Charter and are working to implement its five calls to action to tackle barriers that ethnic minority people can face. These include appointing an executive level champion for race, board level commitment to a zero tolerance of harassment and taking action that support ethnic minority career progression – all of which have been actioned.

Investing in Ethnicity; our second partnership aids with driving change using best practices. With the assistance from the maturity matrix we work in partnership to deliver action and create change. Offering our senior leaders, allies and steering committee bespoke sessions whilst having the opportunity to network with other organisations.
