About us
Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer's favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move.
Our core purpose is "Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day".
Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers.
It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of, and for the planet.
Through initiatives like the Tesco Community Fund, our association with Children's Health Foundation, our partnership with FoodCloud and our Stronger Starts programme, we have supported over 21,000 community groups, raised over €7.5 million for medical equipment, and provided almost 15 million meals nationwide, to those living in food insecurity.
Tesco has operated in the Irish retail market since 1997, and with 163 stores nationwide, we employ over 13,000 people in cities and towns around Ireland, supporting almost 45,000 jobs directly and indirectly.
We partner with over 500 Irish suppliers - of which almost three-quarters are small and medium enterprises - which in turn supports almost 13,000 farming families around Ireland.
Tesco is the single largest buyer of Irish food and drink in the world, buying €1.6 Billion a year; more than any other single country in the European Union, more than even the USA which you perceive as a massive buyer of Irish food.
We work closely with suppliers across Ireland who are dedicated to making the best products for our customers and this is reflected in the numerous awards our products have won over the years including Blás Na hÉireann, World Steak Challenge and Great Taste Awards.
We are proud to have an inclusive culture at Tesco where everyone truly feels able to be themselves.
It is embedded in our values: we treat people how they want to be treated.
At Tesco, we not only celebrate diversity, but recognise the value and opportunity it brings.
We always want our colleagues to feel they can be themselves at work and we are committed to helping them be at their best.
We know life looks a little different for each of us.
That's why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working.
Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love.
Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else.
So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
Everyone is welcome at Tesco.
