Simon Roberts"Going back over 150 years, Sainsbury’s started with a promise: quality perfect, prices lower. We know that we're at our best when we're at the heart of Britain's relationship with food, delivering great value, leading quality and outstanding service to customers day in, day out, wherever and whenever people shop with us."
Chief Executive
In-store or online, we’re focused on offering great value and convenient shopping through our eight trusted brands.
Our purpose shapes why we exist and how we deliver for our customers, colleagues, suppliers and shareholders.
It’s our ambition to be the UK’s first choice for food, attracting many more people to choose Sainsbury’s as the place they come to shop. We create value for stakeholders by building on the heritage and scale of our food business, enhancing our competitive advantage.
In February 2024, we set out our Next Level Sainsbury's plan. Our strategy continues to put food at the heart of our business and gives customers more of what they come to Sainsbury’s for: great value, leading quality food and outstanding service.
Our Plan for Better is integrated into everything we do and critical to building long-term resilience in our business and across our supply chains. Outlining our priority focus areas, key targets and progress, it showcases our commitment to playing a leading role in creating a more resilient and sustainable UK food system.
Our team of experienced leaders are developing and growing the business, ensuring that our strategy remains aligned with our purpose, culture and values.
Our products are responsibly sourced from our suppliers, farmers and producers in the UK and overseas.
We're growing our network of supermarkets, convenience stores and online businesses to make it easier for people to shop with us whenever and wherever they want.
Our purpose guides everything we do. How we drive real change and where we can have the greatest impact for our customers, colleagues, suppliers, farmers and communities, locally and nationally. At the heart of this is our commitment to ensuring good food is joyful, accessible and affordable for everyone, every day. Find out more about our purpose in action.
