Gender Equality at Tesco

We celebrate and support women. Driving female representation to create a gender-equal workplace

Our vision:

Our plans are tailored to support women to develop personally and professionally.
We listen to our colleagues and share their stories to inspire others. The network consults on policies and processes which impact us all.
We champion and raise awareness of Women's health, tackling taboo subjects and making us all more comfortable talking and sharing our experiences.
Collectively everyone everywhere can strive for women's equality. Gender equality is not solely a women's issue, all colleagues can play a role in achieving greater female representation. We welcome everyone, females, males and non-binary colleagues who want to inspire positive change, achieving gender equality.

Our Objectives:

Improving intersectionality and network collaboration, to utilise the power of the networks and increase allyship.
Driving Female representation by motivating and inspiring through our plans.
Growing network visibility to achieve the maximum impact.

Our Women’s Development Programme – empowering our future leaders

We want to motivate and inspire everyone to fulfil their potential at Tesco. And we’re committed to achieving gender equality, and creating a workplace where women have the role models, development, and opportunities to help them progress. So, we’ve developed the Women’s Development Programme, where women – nominated by their managers – will get tools, visibility, and support to help drive their career forward.
