Tesco: Greener Living Program for a green and sustainable future


The British supermarket chain Tesco is looking to find a green future, they are protagonists of the program “GreenerLiving” for a more sustainable living. This includes labelling sustainable and energy-efficient products, rewarding the consumers with Green Clubcard Points when they purchase green products and re-use bags and recycle mobile phones and inkjet cartridges.

Important part of their green program is the Sustainable Consumption Research Insitute, which is a 25 million pound investment, where together with the University of Manchester Tesco is working to find new ways to improve the environment. It is part of their commitment to a greener, sustainable future and will look for the best green solutions in retail.

The UK retailer is also working with audited and certified farms to assure a high standard of animal welfare, this accounts for all their UK meat, poultry, eggs and farmed fish suppliers. They seek to buy their seafood from responsible managed fisheries, in order to maintain a viable and long-term future for wild fish and shelfish populations.
