Community impact

Promise 2008

In 2008 we will:

• donate at least 1% of our pre-tax profits to charities and good causes;
• support charities in a sustainable way through Charity of the Year and explore new and creative ways to fundraise, engaging staff and customers;
• help get 3.5 million people active with Tesco through a variety of initiatives;
• extend our pilot of the Community Champions scheme to 50 champions, one in each region of the UK, to engage staff and build relationships between Tesco sites and local communities; and
• continue our Regeneration Partnerships scheme in the UK and help people who are unemployed and disadvantaged back to work through our Job Guarantee scheme.
