Tesco also has strong links with many organisations representing disabled people, such as Whizz-Kidz. It also has its own Diversity Council. The Council sets the diversity strategy for Tesco. Its goals are to show that Tesco is inclusive, to make everyone welcome and to play an active role in the diverse communities it serves. Tesco is currently working with disabled colleagues to establish whether there is a need for a disability network. The business also works with a number of diversity partners. These partnerships help Tesco to build and improve its diversity strategy. These partners are: • Stonewall. Tesco is a ‘Diversity Champion’ member of Stonewall, a charity which exists to ensure equal rights for lesbians and gay men in a society where they can be open, honest and safe at home, at school, at work and in the community. • EFD (Employers Forum on Disability). EFD is currently working with Tesco to help it to do a better job for disabled colleagues. It will also help encourage more disabled people to choose Tesco as a great place to work. • Opportunity Now. This group offers support for gender equality in business. It is committed to supporting the business to offer opportunities to both men and women. Its key objective is equal treatment of genders but, as it is women who are most often under-represented, this tends to be its focus.
