Friends of the Earth Tesco AGM action June 2005Banana Link is a member of the Tescopoly Alliance.

Tesco now controls more than 30% of the grocery market in the UK. In 2005, the supermarket chain announced over £2 billion in profits. Growing evidence indicates that Tesco's success is partly based on trading practices that are having serious consequences for suppliers, farmers, overseas workers, local shops and the environment.

Take action:

Click here to lobby the government and send a message to Tesco asking for:

  • A legally binding code of practice to ensure that all suppliers throughout the supply chain at home and overseas, are treated fairly.
  • An independent watchdog to ensure the grocery market is operating in  the interests of consumers, farmers and small retailers.
  • A block on any new take-overs by Tesco or other major supermarkets.
  • Support for local shops from local authorities and Government.
  • Measures to hold supermarkets accountable for internationally  recognised workers' rights throughout their supply chains.
