“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 />

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 />
