Tesco's path to become sustainable
STEP 1
Business Opportunity
Tesco has recognised the potential growth in demand for biofuels over the next few years, due to both scientific predictions and future legislations, and has created a new brand: TescoEnergy.
It uses legal compliance and technological development to become a pioneer in the sustainable energy market for the forseeable future.
STEP 2
Sustainable Value Chain
TescoEnergy will increase efficiency throughout the value chain.
The primary differentiation is the company's use of food waste as the biomass input, a free input, which reduces agricultural pressure and aids the 'food vs. fuel' debate.
The company will also use biofuel to power the delivery trucks, producing fewer emissions and generating less waste.
STEP 3
Sustainable Products and Services
TescoEnergy will recycle, reuse and remanufacture food waste, turning it into biofuel.
Tesco producing biofuel can be a way of promoting the use of renewable energy, and hence encourage the community to make their consumption habits more sustainable.
STEP 4
New Business Model
Tesco has a first-mover advantage against other supermarket chains and large suppliers, as it will be the first nationwide supplier to provide 100% biofuels.
TescoEnergy will mainly focus on customer relationship management and the quality of the product.
Using the new technological developments and cooperation with Greenergy, the company will produce new IT systems for operational optimisation.
