Our impact

With more than 600 supermarkets, c.900 convenience stores and 140,000 colleagues across the country, we have real impact in the communities we serve. When Sainsbury's grows, invests and succeeds, the benefits are felt right across the UK.

Delivering impact across the UK

Every day, millions of customers rely on us for affordable, high-quality food and everyday essentials. We know we have an important role to play when it comes to getting food onto plates across the nation. But we also know times are tough – budgets are stretched, farmers are struggling and too many high streets have seen better days.

That's why Sainsbury's is committed to making our impact count beyond the checkout. We create jobs and nurture skills, establish long-term partnerships with our British farmers and suppliers, invest for growth in every postcode and serve the local communities where we operate. Through our scale, reach and core values, we provide good food with real impact.

"Every day, millions of people across the UK trust Sainsbury's to put great food on the table. But what people don't always see is everything that goes on behind the scenes to make that possible. The thousands of farmers and growers up and down the country, many of whom have worked with us for decades through generations of the same family. The brilliant colleagues working through the night or up at the crack of dawn to get food to our stores. And the teams in our communities who take real pride in serving customers and making a difference where they live and work.

"I'm incredibly proud to lead a business that never loses sight of those responsibilities and of the positive role we can play across the UK. Whether it's supporting British farmers and growers, creating opportunities for colleagues, helping customers through their everyday lives or investing in the communities we serve, that's the difference we're proud to make every day."

Simon Roberts, Chief Executive
