Our founder, John Spedan Lewis, built the Partnership on the principles of being a responsible business and the Partnership's seven principles remain at the heart of both our business and our CSR strategy.
- operating in accordance with our CSR policy and developing CSR programmes
- maintaining an effective governance structure
- actively engaging with our stakeholders
- continuously monitoring and managing our progress and performance; and
- managing risk throughout the business.
We know we do not have all the answers, but we are committed to being honest about our CSR goals, challenges and performance.
What makes our approach different? Our Partners' energy and passion to build an ever-more sustainable and responsible business.
'Our values and principles remain a powerful driver on our continuous journey to be a more sustainable business. Our business takes a long-term view, operating in the interests of not just those who work for us now, but those who will follow in the future.'
Charlie Mayfield, Chairman, John Lewis Partnership
