The combination private standard – The future ? • Environmental and Pesticides • Our unique approach with 'Nurture' offers us the fantastic opportunity to pioneer standards around the use of pesticides, reducing energy usage and allows us to break new ground improving and enhancing the local environment. • Social and Ethical • Working in partnership with the ETI we ensure our suppliers are annually risk assessed on ethical standards and worker welfare to ensure that all standards are achieved. Our dedicated technical team also visit suppliers to ensure continuous conformance. This is evaluated and monitored using SEDEX, the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange. How does Nurture work? Each grower is audited on an annual basis to ensure they meet the required high standard Tesco has set. No matter where in the world we source our fruit and vegetables from and who we work in partnership with we use one standard this is Nurture.
