As part of its pledge to cut waste, Tesco is opening a new Colleague Shop scheme to offer staff surplus if it cannot go to charities. Tesco is to start giving surplus food to its shop staff in a bid to hit its zero-waste target by March.
The retailer is to introduce a new scheme called Colleague Shops at all of its UK stores, which will give staff the opportunity to take food if Tesco is unable to find a charity or community group that needs it. The retailer is installing dedicated storage areas and fridges in back-of-store colleague rooms, which it said would be used to safely store quality food on its use-by or best before date.
The Colleague Shops will be introduced to stores by the end of next month. The retailer said staff would initially be charged 1p per product, but items would become free of charge later in the year.
CEO Dave Lewis has announced that it expects to reach the target in March, when its financial year comes to an end. As well as reducing products to clear, Tesco has been fighting food waste by distributing food to local and community food groups through its surplus food initiative, Community Food Collection. But it said not all the food was needed by charities.
