Tesco Chief Blasts Government Proposal To Create Supermarket Ombudsman
Tesco chief executive, Sir Terry Leahy has slammed the government’s plans to introduce a supermarket ombudsman.
Last month, the government announced its intention to create an ombudsman that would have oversight of grocery retailer’s dealings with their suppliers. The measure was proposed after a long investigation into the industry by the UK’s retail regulator, the Competition Commission.
The ombudsman has been billed to ensure “the grocery supply market continues to work in the long-term best interest of consumers”.
The ombudsman would also seek to enforce a code of practice for grocery supplies, which came into effect at the start of this month.
The Tesco chief however blasted the proposal, saying an ombudsman would have a negative impact on shoppers, because it would seek to protect the interest of suppliers rather than consumers.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Sir Leahy said:”I’m not in favour of an ombudsman. Everyone knows supermarkets are one of the most competitive industries around. That competition puts power in the hands of the consumer. In a free society, why would you want an ombudsman if there are no problems now as far as consumers are concerned? An ombudsman would be there to protect suppliers but should be there to protect consumers.”
He added that Tesco enjoyed a very good relationship with its suppliers, which were “unlikely to be helped by bureaucratic intervention”.

Sainsbury’s To Expand Its FairTrade Product Range
UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s says it will broaden the range of it Fairtrade products, as it seeks to attract more ethically minded shoppers. 
Sainsbury’s says it hopes the expanded range, alongside its RSPCA endorsed meats will help differentiate the retailer in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Sainsbury’s Fairtrade product range is currently 700 strong, including tea, coffee, bananas, sugar, rice and chocolate. The company claims to be the largest fair-trade retailer in the world, selling over £210 million worth of fair-trade goods.
Fairtrade is an international organisation that aims to provide better terms and working conditions for farmers growing products in developing nations, by branding the goods as being ethical, being able to charge a little premium, and ensuring that producers get their fair share as payment.
MP Douglas Alexander, Secretary of State for International Development, said: ” Supermarkets stocking Fairtrade goods give millions of shoppers the opportunity to make a difference to farmers in the developing world.”

Wiping one’s behind after visiting the loo has never been silkier, with upmarket grocery retailer Waitrose, upping the luxury ante, offering its customers luxury toilet rolls made using one of the softest materials known to man, cashmere.

Carla Smith, buyer for the upmarket grocery chain, said: “Cashmere provides that stamp of quality to any fashion garment from a designer suit to the finest luxury knitwear .”

Sainsbury’s To Reduce Carbon Footprint By One Third
Supermarket chain Sainsbury’s says it intends to unveils its plan on how it will lower its carbon footprint by a third, by switching to carbon dioxide based refrigerators.
The retailer says it will release details at an Environment Agency conference in London, where it will outline its plan to convert its refrigerators from the current F-gas based fridges, to the less polluting CO2 based fridges across its store network.
The supermarket chain says it intends to convert all the fridges located in 135 of its 800 stores by 2014, with the entire sotre network being converted by 2030.
Sainsbury’s says that by converting its fridges to ones which use CO2 to cool rather than F-gasses, the company will reduce its entire carbon footprint by a third.
Commenting on the move, Chief executive Justin King said: Fridges are by far and away the biggest source of CO2 emissions in any supermarket through both the energy required to power them and the refrigerants themselves.”
“If all supermarkets in the UK switched to this sort of refrigeration, the reduction in CO2 emissions would amount to around two million tonnes a year.”
Mr King added that from next year all new Sainsbury’s stores will use CO2 fridges as standard.

Tesco Forces Customer To Leave For Carrying Daughter On Shoulders
The UK’s largest retailer Tesco has been in the headlines of late, after bizarre reports emerged that it had first banned customers from shopping in their pyjama’s and then carded a customer for trying to buy a 51p quiche. The retailer has hit the news again after banning a shopper from one its stores for carrying his daughter on his shoulders.
Cambridge shopper Mark Dunkley found himself accosted by a security guard after entering a Tesco Extra store carrying his six year old daughter Natalie on his shoulders.
Mr. Dunley a 45 year old taxi driver was issued an ultimatum by the security guard to either put his daughter down, or leave the store. The security guard cited health and safety concerns as the reason for the demand, which Mr. Dunkley refused to comply with, taking his daughter to Iceland instead.
He said: ‘I couldn’t believe it. It’s ridiculous. I think she was actually safer on my shoulders rather than running the risk of being hit by a trolley. This sort of pettiness gives health and safety a bad name.”
He added that Tesco had “lost a customer for life”.
A Tesco spokeswoman urged Mr Dunkley to return to the store and talk to the manager about his concerns.
She added: “We take the safety of our staff and customers very seriously. Each store can make these decisions on an individual basis. We have no blanket policy on this issue.”
