The John Lewis Partnership has published its 2008 CSR reports for Waitrose and John Lewis. The reports are available at: www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/ourresponsibilities
The reports focus on the key issues that matter most to its employees (all of whom are Partners in the co-owned business), customers, suppliers and other key stakeholders. These are:
Climate change Packaging, waste and recycling Building and operating sustainable shops Supplier relationships Sustainable products Supporting its communities.
The John Lewis Partnership has a firm and long-standing commitment to operating in a sustainable way. By confirming what it stands for, sharing what it has achieved so far and outlining its priorities for the future, in an engaging and balanced way, the Partnership's reports demonstrate how its performance on these important issues 'stacks up'.
The John Lewis Partnership is a visionary and successful way of doing business, which puts the happiness of its Partners at the heart of everything it does. It is the outcome of nearly a century of endeavour to create a different sort of company, owned by Partners dedicated to serving its customers with flair and fairness. All 69,000 permanent staff are Partners who own 27 John Lewis department stores, over 190 Waitrose supermarkets, a thriving online business, johnlewis.com, a direct services company, Greenbee, a production unit and a farm with a turnover of nearly £6.8 billion last year. The profits and benefits created by its success are shared by all its Partners.
The progress the Partnership has made over the last year is clearly attributed to its Partners, whose keen interest in CSR, hard work and dedication helps the business to achieve its objectives in this area.
