Sainsburys strong ethical approach has been at the heart of the Sainsburys business since the first Sainsburys store was opened way back in 1869. More than 140 years later, Sainsburys values still provide the framework for how business gets done at Sainsburys.

However, although shoppers are increasingly price-conscious - especially during challenging economic times - ethical and environmental issues remain important for customers. Fortunately, Sainsburys believe that by considering the wider social, environmental and economic impacts of the Sainsburys business, it's possible to meet shoppers' expectations - and even exceed them - by acting responsibly on their behalf.

With a history of more than 140 years, and close to 800 stores throughout the UK, Sainsburys is one of the most recognised high-street names in the UK.

From its very first shop in Drury Lane, London, in 1869, Sainsburys has come a long way, and now operates close to 800 stores in the United Kingdom, with over 2,000 suppliers, more than 30,000 products, and with a staff of more than 150,000.

Now, with the advent of online shopping, Sainsburys is making its name in online retail too, and offers a real alternative to other online stores, such as Tesco, which has previously been dominant in this sector for several years.

Even though Sainsburys customers are often looking to economise with their shopping, concerns regarding the environment, and ethical-trading practices, also remain important to them.

However, while continuing to ensure that Sainsburys products are affordable, and of high quality, Sainsburys has always taken a leading stance on the issues which are important to customers, and is the recipient of many an award for its ethical and environmental credentials.
