Tesco is the UK’s biggest private sector employer, with over 300,000 colleagues in the UK. As more than half of them are female, we take great care to ensure that they are fairly rewarded for their work and have the same opportunities as male colleagues. Our core values at Tesco are that everyone is welcome and that we aim to treat people as we would want to be treated, so we work really hard to support colleagues whatever their needs or family situation. We run a number of initiatives to make sure we live up to these values, including the regular reporting of the gender pay gap internally.
