Building a better world together
That’s more like it.
Here at Asda, we want to make a real difference to people’s lives. And we do that through protecting the planet, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and transforming our local communities. Building a better world and a more sustainable future – in everything we do. That’s our promise.
And we do it through our Creating Change for Better programme.
It’s our strategy that helps us be a force for good. We restructured it back in 2021 to make it future-fit and make the greatest impact possible on ESG issues our communities, society and the planet are facing.
And it’s all about…
Better Planet
Aiming to protect and conserve the world around us through sustainable practices and initiatives.
Better Lives
Tackling the barriers to health and happiness that stand in the way of people getting the most out of life.
Better Business
Holding ourselves to the highest standards of responsible business and ensuring Asda is a fair, safe and transparent place to work and shop.
Building on our 2021 materiality assessment, we engaged our stakeholders in 2022 to inform the next steps in our strategy development.
Our overarching ESG approach remains focused on providing access and affordability for customers and takes account of the external environment in which we operate.
Our Top 5 Strategic priorities are…
• Climate and Energy
• Food and Operational Waste
• Plastic and Packaging
• Healthy, sustainable diets
• Supporting Local Communities
Meanwhile, we’re keeping track of emerging priorities such as…
• Biodiversity
• Circular Economy
• Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
And we have teams actively progressing all other areas of ESG topic (see information about our priorities on page 12 of the ESG Report 2023).
