Executive Summary
Tesco is one of the world’s largest retailers with 470,000 employees and annual revenues of £59.4 billion. In 2006 the firm set aside a £500 million budget to implement its climate change plan which covers a wide range of activities including IT, stores, refrigeration, distribution, waste, sourcing and compliance. Tesco has committed to a market-leading carbon reduction plan and its managers are now under pressure to deliver. Challenges to deliver the plan include collecting data from thousands of stores, buildings and meters; inconsistent data sources; and ramping requirements for carbon data analysis, reporting and communications. Tesco needed a single global system for carbon data capture and information storage; the automation and simplification of data entry; full auditability and instant data visibility around the world. The firm selected CA’s ecoSoftware solution due to its ability to deliver on present and future needs. Implementation began in July 2009 with a go-live date in October 2009.
