The retailer also said in the same period it has cut its carbon emissions by 16% and published its human rights and responsible recruitment policies.

Chief executive Christian Härtnagel said the business had “taken some significant steps over the past couple of years” in these areas, “from increasing our fruit and veg range by a fifth and reducing the amount of plastic packaging by 8% since 2017”.
