“I’d like to see a shift towards<br />

strategic thinking in <strong>the</strong> annual <strong>CR</strong><br />

Report, ra<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> historic focus.<br />

This would help investors understand<br />

emerging issues. <strong>CR</strong> information<br />

should be contextualised to enable<br />

mainstream investors to understand<br />

how this activity relates to <strong>the</strong><br />

business strategy” – Investor<br />

“[Last year] <strong>the</strong> Report contained<br />

nowhere near enough on how <strong>the</strong><br />

Community Plan is being rolled out<br />

internationally” – Supplier<br />

<strong>the</strong> financial year March 2008 to February <strong>2009</strong>,<br />

Responding to feedback<br />

We spoke to a wide range of stakeholders<br />

during <strong>the</strong> year, and describe this work in<br />

more detail on page 52.<br />

To get specific feedback on our <strong>CR</strong> strategy,<br />

performance and reporting, we held two<br />

externally facilitated focus groups of opinion<br />

formers in areas related to our business,<br />

including suppliers, NGOs, government,<br />

journalists, socially responsible investors<br />

and academics. They felt our reporting should<br />

present o<strong>the</strong>r people’s views on key issues as<br />

well as <strong>Tesco</strong>’s, for balance. To address this, each<br />

chapter includes quotes from <strong>the</strong>se focus groups,<br />

under <strong>the</strong> heading othERs saY (see page 48).<br />
