Sainsbury's (Tu)

In 2006 we were critical of Sainsbury’s, whose answers we found unconvincing.  Its response this year began by saying that, “[y]ou know through our dialogue over the year since your last report that we have a comprehensive programme in place to manage the issues that you raise.” Quite the opposite: this statement alone demonstrates from the start that Sainsbury’s does not understand what we want.
 
Responded to survey: yes
 
 
Wages Grade 1: Accepts the principle of a living wage, but applies legal minimum/industry benchmark.
 
FoA Grade 2: Acknowledges that access to FoA and CB requires worker and management training, but no real efforts to ensure workers have access.
 
M&V Grade 1: Suppliers regularly audited and remediation measures taken, in line with basic industry norms only.
