In the rare occurrence that suppliers do not agree, existing shipments may be cancelled and we will no longer do business with them. Last year we identified 165 cases of concern involving 158 sites. 26,723 workers received a total of US$1,005,400 as a result of Tesco’s intervention. We were also able to end a long-standing payment dispute, resulting in 406 workers receiving $1,267,242. We believe we are industry-leading in terms of this work - and our disclosure on this point."
