♻️ A Faster Way to Recycle in Arklow We're excited to be trialling a new high-capacity Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) machine at Tesco Arklow, making it quicker and easier for customers to return bottles and cans. In its first week alone, the Bulk DRS machine processed over 120,000 containers, more than double the store's usual weekly returns! 👏 Designed for larger returns, customers can simply empty a bag of containers directly into the machine, helping make recycling more convenient while supporting Ireland's growing circular economy. 🌍💚 👉 Got bottles or cans to return? Pop into Tesco Arklow and give it a try.   Re-turn Read more: https://lnkd.in/d2ZNSUfg

Last weekend, Tesco colleagues and customers across Ireland came together to support families facing holiday hunger, generously donating over €165,000 worth of non‑perishable food through the Tesco Stronger Starts Summer Food Collection. Donations were collected in Tesco stores nationwide, with each store partnering with a local community group to help distribute the food to those most in need within their community. Thank you to our customers, volunteers, community partners and store colleagues for making this year's Stronger Starts Summer Food Collection the most successful to date.

We’ve taken another step forward in our journey to decarbonise our operations. We’ve transitioned 164 of our Grocery Home Shopping (GHS) delivery vans from diesel to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable fuel that can reduce carbon emissions by up to 90% compared with conventional diesel. This means over one‑third of our delivery fleet is now operating on lower‑carbon fuel, and we are on track to reach 50% by the end of the year. Today, approximately 20,000 customer orders every week are delivered nationwide using HVO‑powered vans. The HVO supplied by Certa Ireland, produced from waste‑material feedstocks, allows us to replace diesel without any engine modifications. This enables immediate emissions reductions using our existing fleet while we continue to invest in long‑term, zero‑emission transport solutions.

Last night was a big moment for our PR team and agencies at the Public Relations Consultants Association PRCA (Ireland) Spotlight Awards 🏆   We were delighted to win Best PR Event Contribution with our agency THE HIVE Agency for our F&F Activewear event in February, a campaign that brought brand, product and experience together in a way customers could genuinely connect with.   We were also highly commended for Best Contribution to Societal Change for Stronger Starts with both THE HIVE Agency and Q4 Public Relations, a recognition of the real impact this programme is having in communities across Ireland.   Behind both is a huge amount of work, creativity and collaboration from our brilliant PR team and our agency partners.   A massive well done to everyone involved.

We were delighted to welcome over 150 media and stakeholders on Wednesday to our Summer Food BBQ event, a special moment to bring people together to celebrate what matters most: great Irish food, award-winning quality, and the incredible people behind it all. As the single biggest retail buyer of Irish food and drink in the world, we're proud to champion the passion and expertise of the Irish agri-food industry and its importance to Irish consumers. From award winning Tesco Finest Irish angus steaks from ABP Food Group and our new lower-carbon Bright Meat Company burgers made by Kepak Group, to Blás award winning relishes from Follain, fresh burger buns from Coghlan's Bakery, seasonal Irish berries from Keelings and brand new Tesco Finest Wexford strawberries and cream ice cream by Silver Pail, guests enjoyed a feast of Irish products in the sun in the fabulous surroundings Ella House. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a special evening. #EveryLittleHelps
