Our focus areas: our products

We are united by our purpose to provide safe, nutritious and affordable food, and clothing that is great value for money.

Providing safe, nutritious and affordable food

We have always taken nutritional factors into account across our grocery portfolio, which includes many staples such as bread, flour, rice, noodles, bagged sugars, tea, cooking sauces and breakfast cereals.

Tackling plastic and packaging

We recognise the harmful effects of plastic waste on ecosystems, but also understand that many forms of plastic packaging play a vital role in the functioning of the food sector, helping to protect consumers by keeping foods safe to eat and reducing waste by extending usable life when supplied to the market.

Enabling others to cut their carbon emissions

Carbon enablement is where our products or services assist others in reducing their carbon emissions. It is integral to several of our businesses’ offer to customers, and a key focus for investment and innovation.

Increasing the durability of clothing

Circularity is an important consideration in the way many of our businesses approach product development, product packaging and waste. These businesses recognise the value of finding ways to use fewer resources in the first place, but also aim to maximise opportunities to recycle, reuse and recover those resources that cannot be avoided.
